LYRICS:

There’s a cherry on top tonight
for men who look like Jesus tonight
if you play your cards right
you can be the the son of God tonight

You were thin you were undersized for the spring
you entered your name just as “tight blue jeans”
in my phone I guess you do this kind of thing
ahh yeah

Well we met on the floor
CCR was playing
“long as I can see the light”
they were singing
you gave me the look
that said “let’s be animals tonight”
right away we were synthesized

So we took off
down Sunset Boulevard
the back tires were spinning
the axles they were teething us into beyond
way out on that boulevard
we can be weightless, timeless

Tonight you are heavy on my mind
I watched you
drift behind my eyes
I try to roll with the punches, I flow with the tide

Guess I thought you’d be forever
you’re now with me never
moments of heaven
frozen in a van with you girl
I miss the lightness of laughter with you

So I tear out to Sunset Boulevard
yeah my back tires
they are spinning
the axles they are teething me
into beyond
way out on that boulevard
I can be weightless,
I can be timeless…

So far down Sunset Boulevard
yeah my back tires are spinning
my axles they are teething me
into beyond
way out on that boulevard
way out on that boulevard
way out on that precious boulevard
we can be weightless,
timeless…

30 comments and 52000 views after 4 years for one of the best written tunes of this era... we are artistically dying as a society and celebrating plastic inane artists instead of genuine artists like this guy

Such an amazing song. I am glad he sticks to the sounds of old school, good music. Not much of this type of music is left in our world.

[jason_samosa]

How have so few people heard of this guy

[LifeBloodMarketing]

Been trying to find your music for 6 years, first heard you in Germany with Tom Petty but never got your name.

[blueowlz]

Comes out on Friday the 13th, if it really matters anything.. But it's surely one of those slow "fuck my life" Fridays.. where you're tired of everything, all you want to do is just.. Slow it down, handle it somehow but you can't.. Then this track comes out, give it a listen and instantly it helps.. It gives such a calming relief, like .. yeah this is the way it's meant to be, the struggle will subside, you just hang in there..

Saiu do palco ontem por causa de um bando de pessoas que estavam mais interessadas em falar do que ouvir .
São Paulo decepcionando
