Red Hot Moon
Under the RED HOT MOON,
Take a bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight,
Under the RED HOT MOON,
Take a bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight
Casey's Cali-California's gotta reputation,
And she hit the asphalt,
And she's waiting for an escape now,
Escape is called the 164,
Now Casey, she don't remember where she's from,
And Casey, she wants to run, run, run,
She's a punk rocker,
She don't trust no one,
On a South Bay bus all alone.
Under the RED HOT MOON,
Take a bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight,
Under the RED HOT MOON,
Take a bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight
Casey never caught up,
Like the rest of the rats in the fucking maze,
"Check me out," she said, "I'm in a concrete jungle,
I'm an individual and you are stuck in a haze,"
Oh hell no!
She knows what they do, cuz,
Cuz she says so!
And she knows who her friends are,
So fuck you!
Don't get no closer,
You'll only make her run far away.
Under the RED HOT MOON,
Take a bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight,
Under the RED HOT MOON,
Take a bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight
I knew Casey's brother for a while,
Let's say we spent a lot of time hanging out,
I always thought -- and so did he -- she'd be the one,
To get out of here and make a life for herself,
But hen we found her,
in the little league park,
In the dugouts,
It was cold, damp and dark,
And no one knew why she wouldn't wake up,
I think she finally made it back home.

SR: One time for your mind,
Two times for your soul,
Three for the graveyards and the money I fold,
Dimmed out in the city, where the sun burns slow,
No hope, it's a pity, can't say no,
Not my time to go, it's not my time to die,
The last thing I want is for my mother to cry,
It was love at first light, the very first night,
Things have never been the same since I took the first flight.
The way I've lived my life, my love, I lived lavish,
(Under the red hot mooooon)
Lost me from the start, you'll lose, you'll never have it,
Untouched, unleashed, back up, you don't want it,
Stick him for his cash, he's back, that's how we flaunt it,
Take to the past, I take it to a blast,
Bust the motherfucker, I'm out on this smack,
(Under the red hot moooooon)
Dimmed out, high as fuck,
I'm out of control,
Let's bounce, rocksteady, man, I'm ready to roll.
Under the RED HOT MOON,
Under the RED HOT MOON,
Under the RED HOT MOON,
Under the RED HOT MOON
