Driving Down Montgomery Boulevard

on a Saturday night
change in my pocket
and Superman lunchbox
I stop at the red light
and keep on singin'
along with Billie
"here's my heart on a silver platter"
I don't care if people in the
random cars stare at me and think
me strange
I'm growing more and more comfortable
with deranged
and I don't care to explain
it any further

will I last out the storm
will I be warm
in the end
can I count on a friend
for a shoulder
I don't need that
being an island
unnamed
all the same
I'd like to think
someone is dreaming of saving me
from the brink but even so
I'll go on
Texas is big enough to get lost in
and the road to California
will always
be open.
