Parking Lot Nudie Bar
[Intro]
Oh, love, where are we going?
And where are you taking me?
Why do our eyes play tricks on us?
A stranger where your body was
And nothing where a mountain used to be

[Verse 1]
I will follow you there
I will follow you there
To wherever it is that you've gone
Where there's nothing to lose
Where you kick off your shoes
And you put the legatee on
And you pay my way in
With a dangerous grin
To the parking lot nudie bar
Carnival freak show
Where words are a joke
And joking's not funny
And money can't buy you a reason

[Chorus]
I want to know, love
Where are we going?
And where are you taking me?
Why do our eyes play tricks on us?
A stranger where your body was
And nothing where a mountain used to be
[Verse 2]
Me and all my best laid plans
Are in your hands tonight
My map and my compass
My flag and my trumpet
And my book of wrongs and rights
I will follow you there
I will follow you there
And you can follow me home again
If you will put your arms around me
Will you put your arms around me?
Will you put your arms around me then?
