VERSE 1
i watched her
spray out our names with a black spray can,
on the back of the old water tower on the mainland,
fast but exact, no hesitation,
she looked at me and smiled, said «happy birthday»
i was waiting on the ground below, i was pacing,
holding her lock cutters that she used to break in,
cut through the fence cut through my gaze when
she kissed me in the back of the cruiser, amazing.
driven to the station, finger printed faces,
figured out pretty quick the pigs were only fakin,
they asked our names, we said «young and dumb»,
ten minutes later we were back on the run,
back back on the streets in the middle of summer,
back to the fact i gotta feed my lover,
blacked out t’s and i’m feelin the heat
bash grandpa on his skull pull the fucker out his seat,
stole that car, stole that man’s life
bitch back seat crying, stole that man’s wife
look at my girl like what next?
she looked in the back, «you move, you’re dead.»
pull out the duct tape, pull in a parking lot,
my girl’s in her bra 'cause the summer heat is so hot,
eating a peach, and it’s dripping down her lip,
pop the glove box, now we rich,
it’s good they had cash cause we had none,
now they’ve got nothin and we’ve got some,
throwing dollar bills in the air for fun,
while wifey’s hog-tied in the trunk,
hundred miles down the road,
with anywhere to go,
girl says «threeway?» I say «motel»
bitch dives out, dies, we say «oh well»,
sunset cruising, sunset cruising,
sunset fucking, drugging, boozing,
some say my girl made me sick!
i say, fuck you, suck my dick,
sunset living, sunset lovin'
sunset I don’t give two fucks man
some say my girl made me change,
but summer’ll do this to any manngg
Willa
Summertime, and the living is easy,
Summertime, and the living is free.
VERSE 2
now we’re running through the hallways of the hotel lobby,
she’s reapplying lipstick, everybody’s watching,
hair look a mess, got her shoes in my hand,
don’t got no pants, don’t got no plan!
the concierge, shouts «Mr Clare»,
that’ll be $ 40 and fourty cents,
we stop, turn, smile,
I pull out a hundred bucks, my girl shoots him in the head,
pop pop the fire doors, oh! alarms blare!
and like a car alarm, nobody cares
like polite children, nobody stares,
maybe they’re too busy, maybe they’re scared,
maybe everybody walking up and down the streets
Is too concerned what they act like to see
we’re all the same, might as well be staring at the sun,
instead of the man with no pants and a gun,
5 shots fired, and 4 dead
then a man jumps out his car at the red,
and it’s bad to steal, but to leave it’s worse,
we cleared up a traffic jam, now we got a porsche,
driving high, spotted by a pilot in the sky,
trying to hide, but hidings harder when you’re in a ride
that blinds the eyes, fly inside a tunnel, stop!
first car’s a pig, so we killed a cop. GO!
go Go go Go go Go
go Go go Go go Go
to think it all started with a little bit of spray paint,
140 down the highway trying to maintain,
followed by a fleet of five-oh
either 25 years or we die yo,
we both know, nowhere to hide
so we stop, kiss one last time,
and drop,
VERSE 3
I wake up, day dream, i can hear a spray can,
fast but exact, no hesitation
it’s night time at the water tower on the mainland,
holding the lock cutters that she used to break in,
she climbed down the ladder and kissed my face then
we walked through the fence with the hole she had made,
and turn around to take it all in, amazing
she looked at me and smiled, said «happy birthday»
