V1 She wakes up, puts a little makeup on/ I'm waiting outside, hope it doesn't take a long time/ Cuz I'm trying to roll while the night is young/ But I bite my tongue because of what might come/
We might run till the sunrise, kiss the butterflies/ Lips locked, tongues tied/ Two tickets inside of the glove box in my ride/ She walks outside and I'm tongue tied/
Last week she made me mushroom tea/ Started touching me, not giving me much room to breathe/ At ease baby girl, you're looking like a toy/ Could you please light a candle and put on some Pink Floyd/
I can't handle your noise right now, killing my vibe/ I want to climb inside of my own damn mind/ And for the time being feel like I'm seeing a reason/ To please the part of my being that feels deep as the Aegean Sea/
Boston's about to freeze, walking through the autumn leaves/ Stop and smell the Peonies, maybe eat a few of these/ It's you and me, and we're one in the same/ Toxins in the brain add oxygen to the flame because...
HOOK: Soon it will be cold enough to build fires/ Living in the city and we never see stars/ Yeah we've got a tendency to take it too far/ But I don't want to call it a night quite yet/
Soon it will be cold enough to build fires/ Grew up in the city and we never saw stars/ Yeah we've got a tendency to take it too far/ But I don't want to call it a night quite yet/
V2 The first time I saw her sitting at barstool/ Peeling the label off of a bottle of harpoon/ Our soon to be tune was playing through the juke box/ Got a panoramic view of her bandana tube top/
Biker boots complimented her daisy dukes/ Whiskey on the rocks like she trying to get loose/ Dawning a disguise like the rest of the bar files/ All starry eyed and escaping the hard time/
So I slid into the seat beside her/ Living to die, I thought I'd give it a try/ I said, "It's only getting colder, drinking until we're sober/ A quarter of the way through life and getting older/
I want to move boulders girl," That's what I told her/ And then she said with a shrug of her shoulder/ "You're popping tags on your clothes while there's tags on the toes/ Of a thousand people froze in the city Winter cold/
Reaching into your bag of lies; hand out all your alibis/ Hitting on women and then you trick them when the cab arrives/ What kind of girl do you take me for?"/ She gave me a cigarette and we headed for the door singing...

V3 This is what living looks like, 2 am an night/ Sipping a natty light, gripping on a fatty type booty/ And I'm feeling like of moody from the come down/ Chasing the sun round the planet till we're dumbfounded/
Did we grow up to become dumb kids/ Did we get the notice the vote is to numb our lids/ Kids looking like they just got back from Bisco/ Pretending that they live in the 60's in San Francisco/
Moon rocks got him talking a hell of a lot/ Somebody sell him some pot, don't want to listen to that/ Jibber-jabber so I tell him I'll be back soon/ Cats in gas masks get blasted in the back room/
All of the noise right now killing my vibe/ I want to climb inside of my own damn mind/ And for the time being feel like I'm finally breathing/ Freeing the part of my being that feels deep as the Aegean Sea/
Boston's about to freeze, walking through the autumn leaves/ Stop and smell the Peonies, maybe eat a few of these/ It's you and me, and we're one in the same/ Toxins in the brain add oxygen to the flame because...
