Here are all the lyrics. They were posted a while ago somewhere on one of The Matches' sites. Hope this helps!
This is one of my VERY favorite songs, and it pained me. LOL
We hide
As sidewalks crawl. diseased,
Ever shopping, hopping fleas as
The engines hum
The sun’s reprise.
We rise, into skies punctured with stars
She steers us through her Dogpatch bars
A barback nods---he’s one of ours
As they sleep
Their city's awake and wide
Their city's awake and wide
We're aching inside, aching
Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride
Their city's awake and wide
Their city's awake and wide
We're aching inside, aching
Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride
My blood, finally thick enough to drive
Marianne, last touch, 5:45
The highway's already alive
With the khakis teaming with caffeine
To coax the cursor ’cross the screen
The nervous tick-tocking machine
Their city's awake and wide
Their city's awake and wide
We're aching inside, aching
Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride
Uh uh uh uh, all the lights go green
For me, Lord Legless, and my sacred rose queen
Uh uh uh uh oh, my Marianne, tell your old man
Uh uh uh uh oh, my Marianne, tell your old man
We're nothing serious
From Lower Haight to sea cliff estates
Sped past the finest
You gave no chase
We‘re proud to feast
(Their city)
On Mission grease,
(Their city)
We’ll freeze our tits off
(This city's awake)
On Baker Beach
(Their city's awake)
rolled back to park
You rolled a smoke
(You killed the beams)
I nearly spoke
(Marianne)
I'm half his age
(I'm half the man)
Tell your old man
We're nothing serious
Their city's awake and wide
Their city's awake and wide
We're aching inside, aching
Mistakes are waiting to take me for a ride
