      I'd like to sweep through the landscape late at night in a Chevrolet Corvette enjoying "Under the Pressure", "Baby Missiles" and "Your Love Is Calling My Name."
      The Corvette - produced in Bowling Green, KY - is the American fighter pilots favorite sports car.
      I can understand why, but unfortunately I don't have a 'Vette (my neighbor, though, lucky guy - has one)

    The War On Drugs
    Baby Missiles:
    I'm on the back of a new belief
    And on the back of a new belief
    My friend rides all alone
    Yeah, he's up and down like a new Jack Tone
    He was a part of the new machine
    He felt alive in the new machine
    My friend dies all alone
    Yeah, just up and down like a new Jack Tone
    Yeah, you want to talk about going down
    Yeah, you'd rather make a young man proud
    You should have seen all the rattling in my brain
    And in the wake of a northeast bus
    I came on my back like a northeast perch
    You should have seen all the rattling in my way
    Just the sound of a northeast bus coming back here
    Because I don't mind when the pioneers go soft on me
    It's just the sound of a northeast bus on its back babe
    You got your head in the common field
    Adjust your hands with the common touch
    I was alive on the new machine
    He felt alive in the new machine
    My friend rides all alone
    Yeah he's up and down like a new Jack Tone
    He wanna leave but he don't know how
    He want to try but he don't know why
    He's going to lean on the back of me
    Like a slide on the back of b-b-belief
    Just the sound of a northeast bus coming back here
    Because I don't mind when the pioneers go soft on me
    It's just the sound of a northeast bus on its back babe
    You got your head in the common field
    Adjust your hands with the common touch
