Lyrics
Ravin' Mae Renee'
words & music: Timothy Kochanski
The jack hammers and bulldozers
after dusk, run down their motors,
there's supper on the table and it’s gettin’ cold.
Like jack daniels to your sister,
like your Papa to your Ma,
the Packard Plant Raves were the wildest place you could go.
All the drugs have changed your age.
A thousand birthdays to your name.
You still stand up like poppies in a midday shower,
but the admission costs are high
and the drinks are just mixers and ice.
Well, they just don't do it here like they do it in Detroit.
So grant me one last after-hours
and from the base of your tower
I'll sing you court songs with my best Romeo.
We'll dash from skyscraper to highrise,
lean against each one's west side…
make the dawn work for its money.
Mae Renee' this is your New York City song.
It was written for you to remember us when you're gone.
Never a rave be caught spinnin' these old folk chords,
like I been spinnin' my wheels tryin' to get you to call this town home.
The outbound train is in the station,
Columbus, OH destination…
……..
You can make the clock stop tickin'
my beard will grow without its clickin'
the outbound train will just keep rattlin' on,
Rattle on, rattle on, rattle on, rattle on...
