Caught somewhere in the space between Do you love me and do you love me? Everything is advancing, I love to see you out dancing. There’s women up in the mountains, We could be up there if we could get up there. Say goodbye to America, I wanna see it dissolve. I can be your poster boy for the great American fall. Now I’m out and I’m prowling, You make me wanna start growling. You will live forever as this bombshell In my mind. I know that it’s dangerous, But I wanna see you undress. Wrap you up in the bomb shelter Of my feather bed. Eileen, I must be living twice. Colossus of roads, Buz blur in the night. Cowboy hat and a cigarette, Grease marker in my leather vest. Let’s go paint the oil cans, Write our names on a grain of sand. No one will remember us, Like I will remember us. Meet me down in the Castro, We’ll pretend it’s 1985. Before we were a twinkle, In our great grandfather’s eyes. Children forever! In the end Of the night, baby Of the night. In the night, baby In the night. #hurrayfortheriffraff #thepastisstillalive #colossusofroads
