about

I love this open D tuning. Originally composed with drum machine beat and gtr with EFX on a Boss BR-1200 recorder. Lyrics came years later. Props to Jack Kerouac and his novel "Big Sur". There we are, in California, the theme is set.

lyrics

disco dancing beats
she sure does like Martini
it went in and out of style
shoulder pads, right?

CH I don’t know if you get it
some people are not used to this
your boyfriend is a real nice kid
but honey he’s a crack addict
on the dance floor puking

San Francisco streets
he's circling round the block
trying to cough it up
on a motorcycle

I hate to see you falling down
calling names in restaurants
work yr magic alcohol
but honey you are losing it
facing the Big Sur death penalty

Samantha works the deal
takes off her tights and leaves
the car slithered to a stop
in a cloud of star dust CH

San Francisco streets
I know you wanted to leave
to a San Diego beach
he was on duty in Emergency
the fatal night you OD’d
Big Sur death penalty
