Lyrics

[Verse 1]
While the city was busy, we wanted to rest
She decided to drive up to Observatory Crest
We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best
We went on a ride, we got outside
The sand was hot, she wanted to dance
[Verse 2]
We round and round in Observatory Crest
Thought we saw flying saucers and all of the rest
Pawns in high Spain from Observatory Crest
[Verse 3]
While the city was busy, we wanted to rest
She decided to drive up to Observatory Crest
We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best
So the only thing to do was to drive up
And watch the city from Observatory Crest
[Verse 4]
While the city was busy, we wanted to rest
She decided to drive up to Observatory Crest
We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best
So the only thing to do was to drive up
And watch the city from Observatory Crest
