Hemenway Variety - Alex & Audrey Lyrics

Alex honks his handmedown Mercedes
Audrey skips out to meet him
Her mother shouts a warning call out to the car
She hops in, she's ready to begin

Alex drives away shifting their plans into gear
Both on the edge of synthetic leather seats
The radio exhales a purple haze
They don't need to speak. Audrey brought treats

Alex and Audrey
Nunica cruising
In a disappearing night
Adventure is calling
Alex is waiting
Just until the moment is right

Ten minutes ETA but they take forty
Trudging through their own private detour
Circling round vast fields of whatever
They stop to smell the flowers, with one hit they're cured

Mercedes pulls up to the worn fire pit
Their minds sit in half broken plastic chairs
The sun barely peeks out as they light two flames
One for her, and one the two share

Nunica cruising
Ringleader Audrey
Calling the shots in the night
Someone is calling
Alex is waiting
Just until the moment is right

Alone in the flames, eyes lock with a smile
His heart persuades him to reach for her hand
The inferno tornadoes her lust to a boil
HIs ignited love has nowhere to land

The clock screams for their time has run out
The wind of her flight extinguishes his glee
It's not the first time she has left him
Through the woods to come to me

How are you Audrey
Nunica cruisin?
Our time has abused me
I'll never forget
Our meaningful nothing
But you never could see
