Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the Grave yard shift tonight

Casey's from Campbell, California
She's got a reputation that she didn't ask for
She's waiting for an escape now, escape is called the one sixty four
Now, Casey, she won't admit when she's wrong
Now Casey, she's always run, run, run
She's a punk rocker, she don't trust no one
On a south end bus all alone

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the grave yard shift tonight

Casey was never caught up, like the rest of the rats in a fucking maze
Check me out she said, I'm in a concrete jungle
I'm an individual and you're stuck in a haze
Oh hell no, she knows what the truth is. Because she said so
She knows who her friends are so fuck you, don't get no closer
It'll only make her run far away

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the grave yard shift tonight

I know Casey's brother pretty well, you see
We spent a lot of time hanging out
I always thought for sure that she'd be the one to get out of here
And make a life for herself
But when we found her in the little league park
In the dugout it was cold in the dark
No one knew why she wouldn't wake up
I think she finally made it back home

Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the grave yard shift tonight
Under a red hot moon, take a bus downtown to the grave yard shift tonight


One time for your mind, two times for your soul three for the graveyard and the money I stole
Dimmed out in the city where the sun burns low, no hope it's a pity I can't say no
It's not my time to go, it's not my time to die
the last thing I want is for my mother to cry
It was love at first light, since the very first night
things have never been the same since I took my first flight
The way I live my life, I love; I live lavish, lost me from the start
You lose, you'll never have it
Untouched, unleashed, back up you don't want it
Take it for the cash. It's back, now he's fronting
Take two and pass, I'll take two and blast
Bust a mother fucker; I'm out on the flash
Pimped out, high as fuck. I'm out of control
Heads bounce rock skate now I'm ready to roll

Under the red hot moon
Under the red hot moon
Under the red hot moon

    So I think I can help with the red hot moon question
    KC Died of a meth overdose The “moon” would be representing the bulb of an oil burner pipe and that when meth is smoked it leaves a white residue on the inside making the glass Buick look like a moon To smoke it you need to heat the glass making it “red hot”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
