Lyrics: “Meet You at the Bus” by Dare Dukes
Look up dear, it’s a the black and blue sky.
Feel underfoot where sidewalk cries.
‘Twixt ourselves there is salvation.
I can feel it when we’re kissing at the station.
Chorus:
I will meet you at the bus,
meet you at the bus (the bus!)
I will meet you at the bus,
meet you at the bus (the bus!)
Let’s be reckless just the two of us.
Let’s meet at the bus
Parents, priests, and neighbors
Don’t get the ache we suffer in this
Terrarium with gasoline grass. Just
Two lovely creatures pressed against the Plexiglas.
We’re not scared of their curfew.
We lost faith in bullets and church pews,
The Las Vegas lipstick shrines
Cannot compare with the flashing yellow lines.
Chorus
I hear the angels’ melodies:
Wheels spinning to far off cities.
Our hiding place in our arms.
And this bus ticket is our lucky charm.
I will meet you at the bus.

Music That Isn’t Bad Posts “Meet You at the Bus”
Minneapolis music blog Music That Isn’t Bad posts “Meet You at the Bus” and says some very nice things:
“With hints of Tom Waits, Dare Dukes has made a wonderful album that takes a quirky romp around the American landscape, exploring the people and places that comprise it. With plenty of horns, banjo and accordion parts there’s no lack of musical diversity, and Dare Dukes does a great job of rallying all that sound under a single banner based around smart, upbeat, pop-folk hooks and breakdowns.”
