1. Get you, brushing your hair with the wind,
riding your bike up on Mulholland Drive.
Oh, I got a five-minute
2.
rush from you in your faded blue jeans,
How many years is it you've been alive?
Oh, I'll take a guess.
Rebecca, could it be eighteen, nineteen or so?
Oh, Rebecca, will I ever know?
3. No way, where would I fit in your life?
What would you do with a man without change.
too strange and too poor
4.
.to be trusted, rusted a couple of times,
shaken a bit by the years on the road,
and the women I've known?
Rebecca, you'd have liked the name I gave to you,
Oh, Rebecca, if you only knew.
Go home to your father's friends,
straight sons to your mother's friends,
sweet ones to those families,
well-to-do and so well-established.
5. And one day you might wake up to a shock, girl,
what has it come to, this sensible life.
The wife of a fool?
Rebecca, reading magazines in a chic salon.
Oh, Rebecca, where's Rebecca gone?
