GREAT EXPECTATIONS   (c) by Stevenn Beck

a friend of mine from brooklyn asked
"want to party with us new years eve?
they'll be lots of pretty women
with your choice of a lover who's free"
so we cram into my dodge dart
drinking wine and riding high
on the highway of the heart
with great expectations

when we got there we discovered
fifty guys and only three girls
and the women who were there
thought they were god's gift to the world
nothing left to do but try  to get off
on a wicked little punch
and plate of spaghetti sauce
with great expectations

driving home in the early morn
gonna try once again
got to believe that tomorrow
will be a better end

well the snow fell hard
on the expressway of regret
everybody low as andy yells
"do you smell anything burning, beck?"
so we pull the dart to the side
fall out and watch as the flames
they ride high
with great expectations
great expectations
