Take a Ride Songtext
von The Constellations

All these cocaine vultures follow forties ′round the bar
With their complicated hairdos, spark their cigarettes in the dark
Yeah, they huddle in the corner, "Did you see her kiss him last week?"
Yeah, the girls all love to gossip
Lick their lips and grind their teeth
Down the street from the Majestic, past the Claremont on the left
Yeah, the ATM is broke again, I've got liquor on my breath
And the punks, the thugs, the scenester
Kids try and take me for a ride
But I see all of their angles out the corner of my eye

Let′s take a ride
We'll put the pedal down to the floor and let's lose our minds
Like we′ve done so many nights before, we′ll fly
With a little liquor in our cups
This city is on fire
When the sun goes down, the lights go up


Well, the barmaids are like angels on the dark end of the bar
They pour sweet salvation, send you stumbling through the park
Where the hookers all work boulevard and their pimps are close behind
Yeah, they've all been hooked on something
And have long since lost their minds
And the Rankin boys are raising hell, they spill out on the streets
They roll the bones and sing their songs and ride their tambourines
And this money don′t come easy, it's gone before it′s spent
You can find me at the bar stool
Chasing thrills with next month's rent

Let′s take a ride
We'll put the pedal down to the floor and let's lose our minds
Like we′ve done so many nights before, we′ll fly
With a little liquor in our cups
This city is on fire
When the sun goes down, the lights go up

Sometimes my gears get rusty and I start to feel the grind
The scene gets old and dusty, lights go out on the neon signs
I'm chasing down the sun and I will sleep when I am dead
The needle′s on, the record and the beat pumps through my head
Hit the dance floor with a vengeance and I sweat those drugs away
I revel in that nightmare, decadence turns to decay
And the lights like an explosion burn my eyes and show my face
Someone lead me to the door 'cause I′m too high to find my way


Let's take a ride
We′ll put the pedal down to the floor and let's lose our minds
Like we've done so many nights before, we′ll fly
With a little liquor in our cups
This city is on fire
When the sun goes down, the lights go up

Let′s take a ride
We'll put the pedal down to the floor and let′s lose our minds
Like we've done so many nights before, we′ll fly
With a little liquor in our cups
This city is on fire
When the sun goes down, the lights go up

Let's take a ride
