A Taste Of That Sunlight
04:24
|

|
I was half asleep
when I heard you whisper my name
I answered, "Yes, Love..."
and there you were,
tapping your finger on my window pane
I looked into your eyes
and I knew who you were
You pointed out front
to your big, shiny car
You mentioned something
about traveling so far
Said you had something special
for me to see
Told me it was finally time
for me to meet Me
CH
The Lounge has been closed for a long, long time
Before we knew what happened, the door was locked
But here we are
Just you and me
The door is open again
Let's go and see
There's a bridge up ahead
that we can never cross
But I've got this feeling
that there's nothing left to lose
You were born with magic in your heart
When we make it across, you'll know just what to do
CH
So jump into my Cadillac Sedan de Ville
We'll roll in style
up and over the hill
Let's head on back
to our old neighborhood
To get a taste of that sunlight
will surely do you good
So open the door, let the adventure begin
The Lounge is finally open, it's time to head on in

These Wheels

Have you ever seen such beauty?
Have you ever seen something so true?
I'm gonna ride to the edge of tomorrow
I'm gonna ride to the edge of my dreams
I'm gonna ride
These wheels can take me there
I'm gonna ride
These wheels can take me where
I'm gonna ride
Carry me to the edges of my dreams
Carry me to the edges of...
I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna ride like there's no tomorrow
I'm gonna ride like there's never been sorrow
Have you ever seen such beauty as this bike?
Have you ever seen something so true?

Oh what a lovely bicycle
Those are some big tires
Japanese (That bicycle has some big tires)
French (That bicycle is sexy!)
We need fat bikes
In our land
Inhabitants of Planet Earth:
We are pleased to announce— fat bikes for everyone!
(Japanese)
Put your butt on the seat
Now pedal your feet
Put your butt on the seat
Now pedal! Pedal!
We need fat bikes!
Now pedal your feet!
Four inch on the back, five inch on the front
We ain’t never going down
We ain’t never going down
I’m gonna ride
We need fat bikes!
What a beautiful bicycle! Those tires are so big!
(French)
(Spanish)
(Chinese)
(German)
(Hindi)
We need fat bikes!
Pedal those feet!
Pedal!
When I see someone riding a fat bike, I cannot seem to control myself. The beauty… the passion… the fire. I’m swept away by a tornado of desire, and I want nothing more than to ride that fat bike myself.
(French)
Inhabitants of Planet Earth:
It would seem that there has been a slight administrative oversight. Fat bikes will be delivered to the lovely inhabitants of far Arcturus.
Planet Earth, it would seem, is scheduled for destruction in ten seconds. We apologize for any inconvenience.
I’m gonna ride…

Going Dark
05:16

It's quiet time again
You have gone dark again
I reach out, you're on my mind
It's quiet time again
You have gone dark again
Empty space is all I find
I know there's a price for you to pay
And this is probably the easiest way
For you to get by
Still, I sit and wait
for the lights to come on again
How long will it be this time?
It's quiet time again
You have gone dark again
I reach out, you're on my mind
Roll another cigarette
Grab another beer
It would be so much fun
if not for all the fear
But you've made your promises
And you know your role
But who are you now
if not bleeding from your soul
It's quiet time again
You have gone dark again
I reach out, you're on my mind
It's quiet time again
You have gone dark again
Empty space is all I find
So late in the night
or early, before dawn
Grab wallet and keys
Because it's time to move on
This will all be much easier
When it's not in your face
Safe in the past
Better put it there fast
It's quiet time again...

"You must be blind," you said.
"I must be blind," I said.

Don't Cry, Samurai
05:57
|
|||
|
In the age of the Edo
No one understands
How it feels to be a Samurai
With blood on my hands
It's only from a sense
of obligation and fear
That people greet me with hesitation
or buy me a beer
You would think that I would get
Such a nice vacation
But that isn't quite
Befitting of my station
If I should decide
That you are not my friend
I draw my sword, you draw your last breath
And meet your end
And here I am, all alone again
Don't you cry, Samurai
Samurai, don't you cry

You there!
My good man!
I require your services
Bring me a brandy in a snifter
That cyclist looks like a hipster
Have him removed
My Lincoln Continental
Deuce and a Quarter
My Lincoln Continental
You there!
My good man!
I would like to foray into town
Just to have a look around
Have my driver bring around
My Lincoln Continental
My Lincoln Continental
Deuce and a Quarter
My Lincoln Continental

Excuse me, Sir...
sorry to bother you today.
Just thought you'd like to know...
You haven't been riding around
in a Lincoln 225... a Lincoln 225... at all.
Turns out...
You've been riding around, Sir...
In a Cadillac Sedan de Ville.
A Cadillac Sedan de Ville.
Cadillac Sedan de Ville, Sir...
Cadillac Sedan de Ville.
Shall I get you a drink, Sir?

Roll The Windows Down
06:00

You can play with the radio all you want
You used to love to do that oh so much
CH
Let's go for a drive
Just you and me
Roll the windows down
All the way
I snuck across the bridge
When no one was looking
In the dying light
Gold was the color I saw
CH
I threw one leg over
Reaching for the throttle
My engine roared to life
I snuck across the bridge
In the dead of night
Wind in my face
Headed for the light
I snuck across the bridge
When no one was looking
In the dying light
Gold was the color I saw
I ran to your window
And you were there
CH
I dove head first into the water
Swimming straight down with all of my might
Salt in my eyes, darker and darker
Digging deeper for the light
You can play with the radio all you want
You used to love to do that oh so much
I ran to your window
And you were there
I ran to your window
I happened to catch your eye
CH
