Lyrics[edit | edit source]

does your mama know where you go at night?
does your mama know where you go at night?
meet me in the alleyway, hop into my suicide
we're going to riverview tonight baby
we're going to riverview tonight baby

it's northside/southside/westside/pick a side
it's northside/southside/westside/pick a side

we're moving down western avenue at midnight
the shops are closed/the doors are locked tight
we're coming down slow/riding on that centerline
we're going to riverview tonight baby
we're going to riverview tonight baby

aww let them sleep/just pull me inside
aww let them sleep/just give me a ride

i've got the keys/we're gonna walk the midway
i've got the keys/we're gonna walk the midway
i swear it's safe
you don't have to run away
we're going to riverview tonight baby
we're going to riverview tonight baby
