Hey Pretty (Drive By 2001 Mix) Lyrics
<i>Kyrie suggested we go for drive in her new 2-door BMW coupe. In the parking lot, we slipped into her bucket seats; Kyrie took over from there. At nearly 90 miles per hour she zipped us up to that windy edge known to some as Mulholland, a sinuous road running the ridge of the Santa Monica Mountains, where she then proceeded to pump her vehicle in and out of turns. Sometimes dropping down to 50 miles per hour, only to immediately gun it back up to 90 again. Fast. Slow. Fast. Fast. Slow. Sometimes a wide turn, sometimes a quick one. She preferred the tighter ones, the sharp, controlled jerks swinging left to right, before driving back to the right, only so she could do it all over again. Until after enough speed and enough wind, and more distance than I'd been prepared to expect, taking me to parts of the city I rarely think of, and never visit, I heard her say,</i>
Hey pretty, don't you wanna take a ride with me
Through my world?
Hey pretty, don't you wanna kick a slide
Through my world?
(Do you get the gist of the song now?)
<i>I can't remember the innane things I started babbling about then. I know it didn't really matter, she wasn't listening. She just yanked up on the emergency brake, dropped her seat back, and told me to lie on top of her. On top of those leather pants of hers, her hands immediately guiding mine over those soft, slightly-oily folds, positioning my fingers on a shiny, metal tab, small and round, like a tear. Then murmuring a murmur so inaudible that even though I could feel her lips tremble against my ear, she seemed far, far away. "Pinch it," she said, which I did lightly until she also said, "Pull it," which I also did, gently parting the teeth, one at a time, down under and beneath, the longest unzipping of my life.</i>
Hey pretty, don't you wanna take a ride with me
Through my world?
Hey pretty, don't you wanna kick and slide
Through my world?
Hey pretty, my pretty baby
Rock it through my world
Hey pretty, my pretty baby
<i>We never even kissed or looked into each other's eyes, our lips just trespassed on those inner labryinths hidden deep within our ears, filled them with the private music of wicked words, hers in many languages, mine in the off-color of my only tongue. Too bad dark languages rarely survive.</i>
Hey pretty, my pretty baby
My pretty baby
Don't you wanna take a ride with me?

Ok, first of all it's Kyrie, not Carrie. And all the lyrics in italics are from a pg. 88-89 of a novel called House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski - it's really good, and actually much better than this song.
I dig this song, though.
i like the book better... but i like it where he goes "fast slow fast-fast slow" cause it sounds neet. =)
Wish I grew up in this family.
I read that book.. its the first book i actually read all the way through. and did you know that Mark Z. D. is Poe's brother? Also take a look at the lyrics to Haunted... its about the house of leaves
There is an even longer version of the song. I've heard it a few times. I don't have it memorized, so I can't post it. I like it better though because it goes into more detail and whatever.
this song is creepy. was it on blair witch 2? maybe? yes? no?
It sounds a bit like Mulholland Drive
I like this and the original version equally well, but for different moods. the other one's good for when youre cruisin for trouble with your girl by your side ;-)
I love this song. Its so much better then the orginal. I love his voice and then the chorus being poe. How can you not love it? The second verse if my favorite one of all. And yes by the way the book is very good too
