• Get Inside My Mind

Life is a Stiletto - She dances. Elegant and swift. Skin like silk and muscles of steel. She purrs - Like the streamlined, tireless motor of the limousine.
My 1964 GM-X Stiletto concept car by General Motors

“Spanish Flies Baroque Hallucination” – Kelly Boesch.
Rick's Cafe Americaine. Cape Town. It's 3:00AM. You can drive ten city blocks, and you still can't leave the scene of the crime.

Qui se! Dance with Me!

“A” Side

GET READY! This is Fast!
Get inside my mind
Take a ride
No exit, No place to hide
Just take the ride and feel the flow
Where it leads you'll never know

Pull up a chair - pour a drink
Watch my world but PLEASE don't think
No regrets - No need to hide
Just Hold On Tight and let your mind slide

Take a ride don't ask why
The wheels turn
The past slide by
No brakes - No rules - No time
Just a psychedelic sky and a freeway line

[Applause]

Whiskey burns
The Jukebox sighs
The same old tune with different lies
Dawn rolls in soft and slow
But I ain't ready
To let go

Take a ride
Don't ask why
The wheels turn - The past slides by
No breaks - No rules - No time
Just a psychedelic sky and a freeway line

No way back
No wind in sight
Some are born to sweet delight
Others live in endless night
I keep on tripping into the Light

[Applause]

“B” Side

Selling late night transfers
Try to make a play
The people with the answers
Don't often pass this way
Starting from Dolores
All the way to Three
It's the last tango on 16th Street

The later that it gets
The meaner that it looks
There's a lot to learn out here
Not found in books
The goddess of the winter rain
Watch out for the heat
When it's the last tango on 16th Street

Same old people begging quarters
Stretching out their hands
Venders selling flores
From a plastic can
Some are poor but honest
Others lie and cheat
When it's the last tango on 16th Street

Same old song, I know you heard it
Many times before
Why this life in poverty seems so much like a war
Just make sure you're careful
Where you place your feet
When it's the last tango on 16th Street

Some of them don't see so good when they leave the bars
Talking loud and ugly
Stepping from the cars
If you're holding valuables, pays to be discrete
'Cause it's the last tango on 16th Street
