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
