Ratcliff

(album: What For? - 2015)

A doctor and her lover settled in a Ratcliff home
Taking day trips to Bolinas, they can barely see the road
She says, "My meeting's cancelled, in the morning we'll stay
So baby, please wait"

Let me give you a hug until this easing's light touch your eyes
Or at least until the song finishes and we still try to sing along
Rock and roll is here to stay

A boy who sings about how he's in a squeeze
Ends up with oranges and an unused degree
She wears those earrings almost every day
Trapeze shapes
Everything seems so simple, you can't tell if it's basically fake
Scenes from uptake
Cars on the edge passing him off to hell

Let me give you a hug until this easing's light touch your eyes
Or at least until the song finishes and we still try to sing along
Rock and roll is here to stay
