Buick City Complex Lyrics
Do you wanna mess around?
Do you wanna spend the night?
I've known both kinds of love
But I want to get it right this time
I don't wanna settle down
I don't want to make no plans
Exept for what I'm gonna do
With a pair of idle hands
CHORUS:
They're tearing the Buick City Complex down
I think we're the only people left in town
Where are you gonna move, where are you gonna move?
Do you wanna mess around?
Do you wanna be my girl
Do you wanna be my friend
Do you wanna start it off
Just to see how it will end
Do you wanna mess around?
I mean deep down in your bones
In hotel swimming pools
On public telephones
They're tearing the Buick City Complex down
I think we're the only people left in town
Where are you gonna move, Where are you gonna move?
Do you wanna mess around?
REPEAT CHORUS
someone (ahem) quoted this song to me when he was trying to explain why we can't be together:
"do you wanna be my girl, do you wanna be my friend? do you want to start it off, just to see how it'll end?"
i guess he was right. sorta. i think it could have been an okay ride, even if it wasn't destined to go on forever but hey..
Rhett said live that this song is written from the perspective of the things a regular guy would be thinking on the last night before a car factory (that supplies all the jobs in town) is closing down.
