about

Back to the Drive-In is the latest single off my upcoming plague-times song cycle: American Guillotine. 'Drive-In celebrates the unexpected revival of "movies in cars" with this rockin' celebration of B movie charm and summertime culture.

lyrics

Back to the Drive-In

We go back to the drive in
movies in cars
hotrod mamas and
men from mars.
Hear that blacktop
red pop radio sound,
the screen lights up
when the sun goes down

Faster, Pussycat
Kill Kill Kill
The Wild Angels
can’t keep still
popsicle, snow cone, Eskimo Pie
high tops, short shorts, American thighs

Creature feature
Coke in a can
Godzilla rising
from the Sea of Japan.
Ding Dong, King Kong
tumbles from above
one hundred stories
falling in love.

Hot dog, popcorn
soft serve too,
beauties and beasts
and deadly kung-fu.
Car chase, gun fight
happy ending kiss,
once upon a time
on a night like this.
