North Star

It's getting warm, getting warmer It's getting closer to the answer I was working on my grammar I was driving in my Chevy It was fast, but not the fastest I was listening to Cactus Man you really gotta practice If you wanna get that heavy She was there, on the highway And her eyes said, "Going my way?" And I loved her in an instant Like a Turkish cymbal crashes Got high, got higher Was it smoke or true desire? Did we start that forest fire? As we flicked away the ashes Headlights flash in the passing lane Trying to fill the tank with a little loose change Staring at the sky wondering where you are The North Star Old men dream of nights like these Pine trees swaying in the clear cool breeze Looking at your life from a moving car The North Star It got dark, it got darker I got high on a permanent marker Man, I felt like Peter Parker And my spidey sense was tingling I fell apart, at the party Drinking red wine and Bacardi My constitution ain't that hardy And I'm not much good at mingling The wind blew, it was blowing I said, "Baby, where we going?" And a rooster started crowing And the sun was coming up And the dawn, it was brilliant We were listening to Marillion I said rock and roll's resilient Then I started throwing up Good times flash in the memory lane Every second band's got an animal name Loading our your gear from an empty bar The North Star Young men dream of nights like this The clamor of the glamour or whatever it is Looking in the mirror wondering who you are The North Star Me and her we were meandering I was spinning 'round her curves I was blind, 'cause she was blinding While the mixtape was rewinding I was busy stone cold rhyming I was getting on her nerves And then she spoke, she was speaking Said, "I'm the someone you've been seeking" The odometer was freaking We was driving in my Chevy Half a mil, half a million We were listening to Neil Young Man, you gotta shoot to kill 'em If you wanna get that heavy I'ma rattle on like a tambourine Shimmy and shake 'til the red light's green A lightning bolt from the sky could fly I'm not gonna say goodbye I'ma rattle on like a tambourine Shimmy and shake 'til the red light's green A lightning bolt from the sky could fly I'm not gonna say goodbye
