Divisadero Ride

no reason to stay trapped inside

just fly

get the car keys

drive into the city tonight

go, just go

the music's on so dance

hips moving in the dark

it's a perfect time to start

loving your life

so just dance on into the night

they can't know how far

we are apart

I drive across the bridge

your face singing a la cart

industrial orange lines 

burn against blue green sea

sing to me

let me go

drive me to San Francisco

iMap says take Lombard to Van Ness

f*ck that boring traffic mess

turn Right on Divisadero

Go

go

go

up into the hills, climb, climb, climb

Crest the top and rewind time

City lights melting away pain

from my mind

Downward drive

rollercoaster ride

I imagine you beneath me

and we're feeling fine

oh so fine and swaying in the night

Passing The Mill

what a thrill to imagine 

eating there with you

only tempted

but not fullfilled

I crave this world

I've only glimpsed into

a Presidio working girl

Divided by a street, me and you

Where was that dart board bar

the Vietnamese restaurant on Clement

why do I want to go everywhere

you have been

I'm not sure we're even real friends

you've teased me so everywhere I go

that my mind's spinning like

the Church

8 wheels and Disco

lights flashing all around

Fell Street Bound

Tell me, San Francisco

where's a single loner girl to go

when all she knows is this hipster music fellow

this tempting man

with indie band

sharing stories with so much glory

intrigue, mystery

All she wants to do is escape to you

follow your feed

until she bleeds

she climbs to the top of Twin Peaks

On his scent like a mad dog

roaming the city in heat

she cries out into the night

help me God

I'm alive

Bring this smart Middlebury guy

back right now and into my life

cause I know I can't survive

with out his Divisadero ride
