Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was a shark smile in a yellow van
She came around and I stole her glance in my youth
A vampire
Evelyn shown quiet as roses sting
[PreChorus]
It came over me at a bad time
But who wouldn't ride on a moonlit line?
Had her in my eye
85 down the road of a dead end gleam
[Chorus]
And she said
"Woo
Baby
Take me"
And I said
"Woo
Baby
Take me too"
[Verse 2]
It came over her at a bad time
Riding through Winona down the dotted line
Held us, gunning out
Ninety miles down the road of a dead end dream
[PreChorus]
She looked over with her part smile
Caught up in the twinkle, it could take a while
And the money pile on the dashboard, fluttering
[Chorus]
And she said
"Woo
Baby
Take me"
And I said
"Woo
Baby
Take me too"
[Verse 3]
Evelyn's kiss was oxygen
I leaned over to take it in
As we went howling through the edge of south Des Moines
[PreChorus]
It came over me at a bad time
She burned over the double line
And she impaled
As I reached my hand for the guard rail
Ooh, the guard rail
Ooh, the guard rail
[Chorus]
And she said
"Woo
Baby
Take me"
And I said
"Woo
Baby
Take me too"
She said
"Woo
Baby
Take me"
And I said
"Woo
Baby
Take me too"
