City Rides

It's twenty after midnight I think it's time that we get set up for the ride And Easy-Dave is bored, waiting for us With his Cabrio in the night My girl's a little scared, she's sitting in the back She holds me tight And waking up the neighbourhood We're crossing all these virgin city lights Our usual fetid place, some white Russian Some red wine, another drive In L.A. California, see Another losing band is playing live The boogie-boogie-man Is offering my babe some cocaine The boogie-boogie-man will lose again In dust the schmuck part of his brain Tonight we cannot fall Tonight we cannot fall In an early 1 AM pool game We've begun setting the fire to our souls The boys, they've just lost their cool They're scuffling, it's a fight without control What about a quickie one Oh baby, we've no longer leading roles It's just that now no one cares for us It's just we're not protected anymore Tonight it can't be done Tonight it can't be done Tonight it can't be done Tonight it can't be done We are more that stranger souls We're the angels of the night Dancing shadows through the darkness Evil shapes in the moonlight But we're booging just so fine
