"Let's take the long way
cause I like the view
go by the shoreline look at the moon
Take the long way
watch the sunrise
listen to the radio all through the night
The rain can't dampen us
drive on through
til the sun shines on us dries up the dew
Take the long way
cause I like the view
go by the shoreline look at the moon
Savour the silence and stroke my back
Sing to me softly of secrets and the stories
lost between the cracks
This moment is stardust it has already passed
But you are so bright,
so bright in my mind and our moonlit mass
Lookin for love in all the wrong places
I guess I got one of those faces,
Down and out of the window pane
leaving the carnegie down on Hastings and Main,
I step out into another blizzard,
into a yellow cab lizard,
The driver's an old wise somalian wizard,
I'm just a young mc potty-mouth
I tell him to take the back roads headed south,
From the meadow to the ghetto
come equiped to the red-light district
after a performance
I did for nickels and cents,
He says you're crazy,
I said it doesn't faze me,
My love's not lazy ,
I'm here to amaze thee,
Heck you amazed at this? bitch,
I got a brew like miles davis,
I walked away with that floatin around his head
two girls smiling at what I just said,
You want a hit of this joint he says
okay alright brother just leave it in the ashtray,
Commercial success,
sexdrive I lick the honey in the hive,
And I can tribal feel this love vibe
as I look into another country's tribe,
I brush my teeth like kool keith
I paint in water colours like georgia o'keefe
My graffiti flex kill and that's keepin it brief,
those who got will
Get even more if you don't waste your gifts
you'll get another four...
Be a spirit not a ghost on the west coast,
listen to patti smith and as the clouds shift,
Sun down,
Big Sur,
the view is killer
by the old homestead of henry miller,
don't worry bout your final destination
you'll get there soon,
stare at the stars,
they're the children of the sun and the moon."
