Schwa Lyrics

Back Seat

Lyricist: Dave Katz
Vocalist: Dave Katz

In a dark and dusty room, a dirty wooden floor
The silhouettes of 20 people crying out for more
It was a late and tiring show, and I could not wait to go

The morning hot and humid, the scent of burning road
Dealing with a challenge to my moral code
Setting out to find the truth, running from the Howling Wolf

Heading uptown, leaving downtown, with a woman that I had to have
After sunrise with my shades on, in the back seat of a taxi cab

She was in a randy mood, and following her lead
In a feeding frenzy, we satisfied our needs
Not a stop sign to be seen, all the lights were green

Heading uptown, leaving downtown, with a woman that I had to have
After sunrise with my shades on, in the back seat of a taxi cab

Passion, in a spontaneous fashion
Acting upon a reaction
Feeling the burning inside

It's true, I was obsessed with the view
The feeling of somebody new
Urges I could have denied

Instead, questioning what was not said
Answering not with my head
I let my heart be my guide

Pleasure, such an emotional treasure
At levels that I couldn't measure
I was enjoying the ride

The driver stopped and turned, and flashed a smile so sly
We had been oblivious to his wandering eye
And in an unexpected way, I do believe we made his day

Heading uptown, leaving downtown, with a woman that I had to have
After sunrise with my shades on, in the back seat of a taxi cab
