Under the red hot moon 

take the bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight





KC's from Campbell, California

She's got a reputation that she didn't ask for

And she's waiting for an escape now

That escape is called the 164



Now KC, she don't want to admit where she is from

And KC, she wants to run run run

She's a punk rocker, she don't trust no one

On a South Bay bus all alone



Under the red hot moon 

take the bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight





KC was never caught up 

like the rest of the rats in a fucking maze

"Check me out," she said, "I'm in a concrete jungle,

I'm an individual and you are stuck in a haze



Oh hell no, she knows what the truth is, 

'cause she says so, and she knows who her friends are, 

so fuck you, don't get no closer, 

it will only make her run far away



Under the red hot moon 

take the bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight





I knew KC's brother pretty well

Let's say we spent a lot of time hanging out

I always thought and so did he that she'd be the one

To get out of here and make a life for herself



But when we found her in the little league park

In the dugouts, it was cold, damp and dark

And no one knew why she wouldn't wake up

I think she finally made it back home



Under the red hot moon 

take the bus downtown to the graveyard shift tonight





 

One time for your mind, two times for your soul, 

three four, the graveyards and the money I fold. 

Dipped out in the city where the sun burns slow, 

no hope, it's a pity, I can't say no. 

Not my time to go, it's not my time to die, 

the last thing I want is for my mother to cry. 

It was love at first light that very first night, 

things have never been the same since I took my first flight. 

The way I live my life, I love, I live lavish. 

You lost me from the start, you lose, you'll never have this. 

Untouched, unleashed, back up, you don't want it. 

Stick him for his cash, his bad, it's how he flaunt it. 

Take two and pass, I'll take two and blast. 

Bust a mother fucker, I'm out on the smash. 

Dipped out, I'm high as fuck, I'm outta control. 

Lets bounce, rock, skate, man, I'm ready to roll.
