Long Way

a little after midnight
 i feel a little alright
 looking through the back page
 she looks a little underage
 try to keep a secret
 try to magnify the sun
 gotta get down to mexico
 and get a few things done
 but its a long way
 a long long way to
 try to get somewhere
 you don't even know
 yeah its a long way
 a long long way to go
 and then you're done
 here in my brain
 french sweater girls in the pouring rain
 you walk through the lovebeast
 like a hippie revival
 your eyes on a minorflip
 take some time
 dont let it slip
 you're an old familiar song
 that i just can't remember
 and its a long way
 a long long way to
 try to get somewhere
 you don't even know
 yeah its a long way
 a long long way to go
 and then you're done
 then you're done
 in a late marble car
 in her mamas red coat
 painting on mark bills
 and the bad checks are road
 try to keep a secret
 try to magnify the sun
 gotta get down to mexico
 and get a few things done
 but its a long way
 a long long way to
 try to get somewhere
 you don't even know
 yeah its a long way
 a long long way to go
 yeah its a long way
 it's a long long way
