Lyrics for Jenny

You roared into the driveway Of our southwestern ranch-style house On a new Kawasaki All yellow and black Fresh out of the showroom Our house faced west So the big orange sun Positioned at your back Lit up your magnificent silhouette How much better, how much better can my life get? 900 cubic centimeters of raw, whining power, no outstanding warrants for my arrest Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, the pirate's life for me I hopped on the back of the bike, wrapped my arms around you And I sank my face into your hair And then I inhaled as deeply as I possibly could You were as sweet and delicious as the warm desert air And you pointed your headlamp toward the horizon We were the one thing in the galaxy God didn't have his eyes on 900 cc's of raw, whining power, no outstanding warrants for my arrest Hi diddle dee dee, goddamn, the pirate's life for me
