Just sittin' in a midnight taxi oh

Passing the bar, in the car, like the movies oh

Drivin' down streets, and police, on the avenues

Grab me a beer, I am here, and I'm ready for the night

The pitter patter of rain on the windshield

People around, walking down, unconcealed

All of the sights, that the lights, have revealed

Riding to South Bay, LA, I'm ready for the night
