Lyrics
Cliff Side Dive When she heard her ex made bail, she jumped in that old Chevelle Took off from Point Reyes on the run Half moon hovered like a ghost, her car was flyin' down the coast Then puttered out on Pacific Highway 1 She winced at the bruises 'neath her faded K-Mart clothes Popped the trunk got a gas can and a two-foot hose Hadda ditch California if she wanted to survive Walked along the ridge till she saw a cliff side dive Well the salty ocean breeze, stung the cuts around her knees As she crept up to an old sedan Ducked when some headlights past, then she siphoned out some gas Put a few gallons in that rusty old can Asked herself if runnin' was the smartest thing to do Is it really movin' forward if the past is chasin' you Lifted up the windshield and left that guy a five As the bouncer and barkeep walked from that cliff side dive Well they snuck around the car, and surprised her in the dark And the bouncer tried to grab her hands Then the barkeep said to stop, maybe they should call the cops But the bouncer's grin talked him into other plans She reached in her coat, jammed her key in that bouncer's eye The barkeep flashed a blade and she knew it was do or die He chased her to the ledge with moonlight on his knife She said a prayer on the edge then took a cliff side dive Somehow she was saved, she crawled up from the waves Revenge around her mind, kelp around her hands Those guys needed to be stopped, she thought she'd call the cops But that bouncer's grin talked her into other plans She found that gas can sittin' pretty in the night The bar had closed, just two shadows moved inside The blaze blew some propane tanks and none survived Hell couldn't hold a candle to the fire at the cliff side dive Well, she vanished in the mist along the morning shore And her mean ex-husband never bothered her no more Cos the cops said he oughtta watch out for his ex-wife They found her Chevelle near that burned up cliff side dive ©2009 Robert George & Mark Kaufman
