North Star

Getting warm, getting warmer
 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 Zildjian cymbal crashes
 Getting high and getting 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, yeah, it was blowing
 And I said "Baby, now where we going?"
 A rooster started crowing
 And the sun was coming up
 And the dawn, it was brilliant
 We're were listening to Marillion
 I screamed 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 clamour 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 mix tape was rewinding
 I was busy stone cold rhyming
 I was getting on her nerves
 Then she spoke, so she was speaking
 Said, "I'm the someone you've been seeking"
 The odometer was freaking
 We was driving 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
 Love rattles on like a tambourine
 Every red light's gonna turn to green
 Lightning bolt from the sky could fly
 I'm not gonna say goodbye
