Westbound Bart (Live)

Lyrics

Oh the Westbound Bart dove underwater and My ears popped and your eyes watered And the mascara ran down your face And you looked at me from three rows away As if to say, please stop staring at me And so I did And you got off at 16th and Mission And I did too I didn't want it to seem like I was following you It was just the same stop that I was getting off too I swear And you walked on down the street And I walked behind But you kept on making the same turns That I was gonna make Til finally you stepped in To the same bar that I was going to And it was Tuesday night Karaoke And I sang Lay, Lady, Lay With the funny voice and all And you sang Bohemian Rhapsody And everybody sang along Especially on that part That says I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all And when you were done And the crowd around you dispersed I went up to tell you Just what a great job you had done You said I wonder if when Freddie Mercury Wrote bohemian rhapsody If he knew it was going to be The ultimate song for Karaoke And I said, What about American Pie? And you said Fuck American Pie Our generation cannot identify with Drove my Chevy to levee It ain't nothin' when compared to I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all You said well that was a great version of Lay, Lady, Lay With the funny voice and all Back from Bob Dylan's Nashville skyline days if I do recall I said yea I don't normally do this karaoke thing But if I do I either sing that song Or everybody must get stoned Rainy day women number 12 and 35 (Technically that's what that songs called I don't know if you knew) And you said yeah what's with that song title What's with the twelve and thirty-five I said well twelve times thirty-five Is four hundred and twenty And you know what they say about four twenty But maybe that's just the math major in me talkin' I don't know what it means It just does But girl you know I used to roam around Play my own guitar And sing my own songs But it's been a while since I've been on the road You see I lost my muse And I have not written a song In about a year or so I'm taking a little break My friends call it retirement I don't know But just today The most amazing thing happened I saw something beautiful And I felt a spark Of a brand new song That I have not felt in so long And you said sing it to me I said it's not ready to sing Because all I have is the very first line You said if you don't sing me that first line now There will never be a second line Give me what you got boy or else go home I said okay Here goes Oh the Westbound Bart dove underwater and My ears popped and your eyes watered And the mascara ran down your face
