"Take Me Anywhere"

I can remember exactly where and when I wrote some songs. This one takes me back to the Harvard Square T stop in 1985, after having just watched “Desperately Seeking Susan” at the Harvard Square Theater. To this day, that movie represents a part of my life that I enjoyed and I miss. When I dream about living in New York, I’m actually dreaming about living in New York in 1984 at age 19. I forget that 1984 was over thirty years ago, and so was age 19. The New York and Boston of that era are gone. The music industry I longed to join has changed past recognition. Sometimes now I don’t know where I’m going.

Take Me Anywhere

Desperately seeking adventure
Seeking someone to take me there
Desperately seeking excitement
Take me anywhere
Take me on a ride
Take me to the lights
I'm not gonna hide by myself tonight

I'm tired of playing house
I'm tired of nine-to-five
I'm ready to get out
Add something to my life

Desperately seeking adventure
Seeking someone to take me there
Desperately seeking excitement
Take me anywhere
Take me on a ride
Take me to the lights
I'm not gonna hide by myself tonight

My life has been too sane
But now I'm going wild
It's time to make a change
I'm changing my lifestyle

Giving up the car and the caviar
Looking to the stars, letting down my guard
Trading regular for bizarre
So take me anywhere
Take me far away
Don't tell me; I don't care
Surprise me today

Desperately seeking adventure
Seeking someone to take me there
Desperately seeking excitement
Take me anywhere
Take me on a ride
Take me to the lights
I'm not gonna hide by myself tonight

Desperately seeking adventure
Seeking someone to take me there
Desperately seeking excitement
Take me anywhere
