05.03.77 Orlando, FL, middle of ´Backstreets´
´´Just me and you, baby....just me and you, girl....we were gonna
steal away....we were gonna steal away....we were gonna slip away....I remember
we had it all figured out....you was gonna quit your job and I was gonna quit
my job too....and I remember....oh, I remember....it was on the weekends, we
used to....this guy abandoned this old car in the middle of this field about
two or three miles outside of town.....and we used to hitchhike out there and....it
was about two or three hundred feet off the tracks.....I remember this night
we were out there.....riding....we were out there riding in back.....oh, way
down by the railroad tracks.....oh, in the backseat.....in the backseat.....in
the backseat of that old Cadillac....baby used to ride me back.....oh, darling,
take me back.....oh, oh, you´d take me back.....(?)....I remember this
night we....I remember there was this farmhouse about a mile up the road and
these kids, they set it, it was abandoned and the kids set fire to it that night
and they had these machines down there and they had this fire down there, it
was just burning out of control and we were sitting in the backseat of the car
and (?) we´d see the flames shoot in the air and see the water shoot in
the air and I remember you promised you was never gonna go....you swore to me
you was never gonna go any, anyplace outside this town without me.....and I
remember you promised.....and I remember how you swore to it....and I remember
sitting on the hood of the car and watching it rushing towards us....watching
the fire rushing towards us.....watching the fire rushing towards us ....watching
the fields turn from red to orange.....and I remember standing on the corner....
I remember standing on the corner (?)....I had my suitcase packed.....oh, we
were gonna make some tracks, make some tracks.....(?)....I remember (?) asked
me what I was waiting for....and I stood there and time went by and the night
went by....and I was standing there at three in the morning, I was just wishing....just
wishing that God would send down some angels and blow this whole town into the
sea.....just wishing that God would send some angels and blow this whole town
right into the sea.....just wishing that God would send some angels and blow
this whole town right into the sea.....just wishing that God would send some
angels and blow us all away....and blow us all away....and blow us all away....and
blow us all away....because you promised.....and blow us all away....because
you promised.....and blow us all away....because you promised.....and just blow
it all away....because you promised.....and just blow it all away....because
you promised.....you promised.....because you promised.....and because.....YOU
LIED....YOU LIED....ooohhhh.....´´
