The 80 Bus
Riding the 80 Bus: A Musical Journey Through Urban Life
Lyrics
On my way from work, I'm on the 80 bus,
Commute from work using the 80 bus.
It's crowded as hell, someone's raising up a fuss,
The bus is crowded, and someone is causing a disturbance.
Shove past an old man and take the last free spot,
Push past an elderly person to get the last available seat.
I lean back in my bucket seat and check out what I've got,
Sit down comfortably and evaluate personal belongings.
Sparkle in my eye, smile on my face,
Feeling confident and happy, evident in facial expression.
Slicked back hair, gotta keep up with the pace,
Maintaining a stylish appearance, keeping up with the pace of life.
Cheap smelling perfume is drifting here and there,
There's a noticeable, cheap fragrance in the air.
I open up a window 'cause it's really hard to bear
Opening a window due to the discomfort caused by the smell.
All I need is a look in my direction,
Seeking attention or acknowledgment from someone.
Take another peek at a wonderful complection,
Admiring someone's wonderful appearance.
All this stress makes me suffer indigestion
Stress from the situation causing physical discomfort.
Hey, won't you notice, spend a moment in reflection
Asking for recognition or acknowledgment from others.
You'll always find me hanging around,
Often found socializing at a specific location.
Playing pool at Gert's and drinking 'till I drown,
Spending time at Gert's bar, indulging in excessive drinking.
A leisure suit, I can't get dusty,
Wearing a leisure suit, keeping it in good condition.
Karaoke mic, you know my singing's rusty,
Poor singing ability showcased during karaoke.
Friday night is here, and I'm on the move,
Actively socializing and enjoying oneself on a Friday night.
Fall down some stairs, and roll me up a dube,
Falling down stairs, possibly due to intoxication, and rolling a marijuana joint.
Rev up the engine of my shiny Trans-am,
Symbolically revving up a shiny car, unaware that self-appreciation is lacking.
I guess I never realized that I'm my only fan
Realizing self-absorption or self-centeredness.
You'll always find me hanging around,
Reiterating the frequent presence at a specific social spot.
Playing pool at Gert's and drinking 'till I drown,
Continued presence at Gert's bar and excessive drinking.
A leisure suit, I can't get dusty,
Repeated mention of the well-kept leisure suit.
Karaoke mic, you know my singing's rusty
Continued reference to poor singing skills during karaoke.
