nighttime, shooting star, the sun started to rain
trees lost branches, gurus' trances, black-brassiered dancers
little dears

When your heart beats fast, you're so broke, in your car with the red
lights flashing
look sincere, smell like beer, roach in the ashtray
going to the pokey

looking for a dime bag

When two and two turn into five you'll probably see it my way
when bad is good, like it should, things turn upside down

for party rockin' angels now it's trigger happy
