I’m on the wrong side 

of the beetle road

because I see a taxi waiting

in a pool of blood

 

Guitar strings pluckin’

and I’m still hunting 

for the note 

that’s gonna make you cry

 

Every number has been called

I’m still waiting on the 

beetle road

hoping for my ride to get here soon

 

I missed it before

and the sun’s turned green

only in this city

can a hero be a fiend

 

Towers screech

people too

lovely times waiting 

on beetle road
