PICKUPS AND BLIND DATES

Pickups and blind dates
Joy riding alone
Trusting the dial of my radio mates
They’re the ones after all to see me safely home

Pickups and blind dates
With who’d you set me up
I’m a nice enough fellow, just a bit down on my luck
No I’m not always drinking
But how nice of you to ask

Arcades and girl rentals
Airing out the mattress
Trusting the style
of my out-of-style purchase
That’s the ring after all I wore when I was king

Pickups and blind dates
Where should I drop you off
Did you enjoy yourself tonight?
You enjoy yourself tonight? Please don’t answer till I’m gone
Yeah you guess I’m new in town well I feel like I been here
Forever

How many times must I rest at the foothills
Afraid to make an honest effort, afraid to make the climb
How many lies must I borrow from this tired old script
Afraid to live within in the present, but so afraid to improvise
My pickups and blind dates

I’m so alone
In this world we created together
I’m running, always late
For my pickups and blind dates
