BUDDY AND PEGGY SUE

He was driving in his Jaguar on the outskirts of town
Admiring the upholstery and his dashboards woody brown
He was thinking about the Aztecs and the Mayans and the Sioux
And the warrior's code ... but what's a modern man to do?
He remembered when the music use to be magic
Before it was just another software gadget
He was up on his luck but down on desire
He was cruising these streets looking for ... a fire !

Now on the other hand we got Peggy Sue
Who wasn't bothered by these questions
Because she knew just what a girl could do
She put her thumb out in the road hitched her skirt up high
The sounds of his disc breaks squealing made the birds fly high
He said, "Where you going?" as she settled in her seat
She crossed her legs and put his hand on her knee
She said, "Just consider me your dream come true
You can throw away your Playboy ... and your Penthouse, too."

Of course this was too much for him to handle
He felt for his wallet like a man about to take a big gamble
He thought about Altman and Thelma and Louise
He thought about his wife who he never seemed able to please
Than from out of nowhere she pulled out a gun
Said, "If I were you I'd get moving some."
He gulped real hard, held his breath
Steadied his steering
Put his hand back ... on the armrest

Somewhere down the road she said, "My name's Peggy Sue."
He said, "Call me Buddy," she said, "Buddy - nice to meet you."
She let him have his way and then took his keys
Left him standing by the highway
Shot him right through the knees
Then came the day she stood before the judge
The courtroom was packed and Buddy was on a crutch
The judge looked down
Said, "Explain your actions."
Peggy Sue said, "Your honor ... I couldn't get no satisfaction."
