Lyrics

Almost 8:30 when we hit the Embarcadero and felt the ocean's breeze
Left our complicated lives behind and threw away the keys
Ole Man Ray he's serving up tonight, wipes the sweat off his brow and talks about his wife
Not sure if she's a he or a she, but one thing for sure Ole Ray's very entertaining
Over 42 years he's been slingin and singin, so hot underneath all that fur
For so many dances in that Easter Bunny Parade a flame for your fame

Been so long since we've been able to get away
What if we left it all behind and decided to stay
We know it won't be long and we'll have to go
But the night is young and dinner's on Joe

Our faces don't convey what our hearts really see, a child in you and a child in me
Wake up with the ocean a few steps away, the city is quiet in the San Francisco Bay
From Santa Cruz on down to Big Sur, we talk about our pasts and remember who we were
We're Birds of Paradise unfolding in the sun we sometimes fail to see
Nursin our hangovers with sarcasm and chai tea laced with honey

Been so long since we've been able to get away
What if we left it all behind and decided to stay
We know it won't be long and we'll have to go
But the night is young and dinner's on Joe
