Lyrics
I met her in a Long Beach bar
Full of drunk old men
She said, "You look like a nice boy
And I'm looking for a friend
So I got a bottle in my purse
I got some time to kill
And I can show you a good time
Up on top of Signal Hill"
Well I was just 23 and
She was twice that as far as I could tell
But I drove her up the dark roads
Past the old oil wells
And when she put her hand on mine
I admit I felt a little thrill
So I parked the car up in the weeds
At the top of Signal Hill
"Those things will kill you," she said
Reaching for my cigarette
And she took a long slow drag
Until the filter was warm and wet
Then she pulled her bottle out and said
"This'll help ward off the chill"
And we drank that bottle dry
Real slow up on Signal Hill
And she said, "I used to dance in Vegas
Trust me honey it's true
I knew all the cops and entertainers
And even a senator or two
And if I could have stayed out of trouble
You know I'd be there still
Instead of sitting in some stranger's car
On the top of Signal Hill"
Well after she passed out I just
Stared down at the city lights
And thought of all the dreams and broken hearts
Lost in the night
And I listened to her breathing
Soft and sweet like a child
Until the sun rose cold and lonely
On the top of Signal Hill
