Telepathic Proposal

My heart was cold and empty
Sitting at the bar
It's 15 years 'til closing time
But it doesn't seem too far

She said I like you
You know I do
But one plus one in a million
Still equals two
(and that won't do!)

Cuz I just wanna live
I just wanna live my life
I got no kids, I ain't got no money
I got no worries, I ain't got no wife
I got no use for ambition
Cuz I've already come this far
Don't you know it's taken your whole life
To get where you already are?

She left me standing
On the freeway overpass
This lonely, unlovable feeling
I know someday it will pass

There she goes
Walking down the street
Leaving me here to contemplate
The semi trucks flying under my feet

Cuz I just wanna live
I just wanna live my life
I got no kids, I ain't got no money
I got no worries, I ain't got no wife
I got no use for ambition
Cuz I've already come this far
Don't you know it's taken your whole life
To get where you already are?

Flying in my car at a hundred miles an hour
Down the Hollywood Freeway
Ain't no woman gonna slow me down
Ain't no cops'll stand in my way
When I get there, wherever I'm going
I'll send you a telepathic proposal
And dig my heart out of the garbage disposal

Cuz I just wanna live
I just wanna live my life
I got no kids, I ain't got no money
I got no worries, I ain't got no wife
I got no use for ambition
Cuz I've already come this far
Don't you know it's taken your whole life
To get where you already are?
