[Verse 1]
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, mix 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 and the same
Toxins in the brain add oxygen to the flame because...
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
The first time I saw her sitting at bar stool
Peeling the label off of a bottle of harpoon
Our soon to be tune was playing through the jukebox
Got a panoramic view of her bandanna 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 times
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...
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
This is what living looks like, 2 am at 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 I got nothing to complain about
[Chorus]
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
