Friday night at the drive in bingo


In a tiny tiny southern Swedish country towntwo acres of field and a gas stationriding on my moped, looking for funstaring into the blood red sun on the country road is a boulevardwith neon lights and night open barsin my jacket a pack of playing cardsjust jacks, jokers, and the queen of hearts my heart is beating, beating like Ringoas I pull into the drive-in bingo why do the people in the country wanna look like the people in the city?when the people in the city aren't the slightest pretty I want the people in the country to wear flannel shirts and saggy jeans all covered in dirt
I want the people in the country to be open and kindbut most times I've met those with a narrow mindwith a big black dog to bite your behindif htey ever find out you're not one of their kindall these thoughts as I open up a zingo
Friday night at the drive-in bingo so this is what they do out here for fun'they play bingo and let their engines run'tonight's jackpot is a pig, hey that's criminal!
G-42! ooh, I'm going diagonal! I'm gonna gather up a few of my friendsas many fits into an army tentjust bring our savings and a bottle of wineto the Friday night's reversal of time!this little south-west village shouldn't cost that muchmaybe a handful of silver or a hundred buckswe could have wild wild parties in that big old lodge and the windmill's perfect for movies and suchwe could fake our deaths to get insurance money and take on hippie namesI'd be Snowphish, you'd be Sunny, we could start a little farm with little white bunniesjust cause watching them copulate is very funny there's a cow and an ostrich just waiting for you!a glass of apple cider just waiting for you!the smell of 1952 just waiting for you!and all I'm doing here is just waiting for you...
a daydream, I'm caught up in limbo
Friday night at the drive-in bingo

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
