Lyrics

[Verse 1] Scene One, Curtain up See the couple, coffee shop, beatniks beating out bebop Rainy day, skies are grey, but the couple feeling gay Boy is laughing at her joke, girl embarrassed takes a smoke She should quit, yes she knows, she's happy as she blows Down the cafe to the bar, past the hippies and the jars Of the bean that they drink every day, every week They should quit, coffee's bad, makes you crazy, fucking mad But they say in defense, with a pause for suspense "It's the stuff of the Gods, sexy smart hot rods Rollercoaster, hurricane, supersonic jet plane They should quit, yes they know, but where the hell would they go? They're like me, in a bind, don't you see? Love ain't blind [Chorus] I could make a habit out of you [Verse 2] Scene two, same play, same people, different day In a car with no top, no speed limits, no cops Girl is driving, she's the queen in control of this machine She's talking much too loud, excited by the sound They are screaming, buzzing hard, open road, supercar What they need is some speed, 105 is the key "Life is short," so they say, "Carpe Diem, Sieze the Day" They're like me, in a bind, I don't get it, love ain't' blind [Chorus] x2 [Verse 3] Scene three, city streets Buying shit, selling too, need a fix or some food Or some sex, there's a whore looking beautiful but bored Like to drink? There's a bar. Need a lift? Take my car A stop for every whim, your heart's desire lets you in In this city, in this scene, at the party, you're a queen You're addicted to the lights, to the sounds, to the sights To the pleasure, to the pain, the hot nights, the cold rain To the smoke, to the drink, to the buzz, don't think To the danger, to the fear, to the speed, it's fifth gear All the time, night or day, there is no choice, that's just the way Yes you should quit, you know, but where the hell would you go? You're like me, in a bind, now you see, love ain't blind [Chorus] x4
