Traffic Report from Moonlight Girls by High on Stress
According to Nick Leet..
This song was inspired by a walk in a cornfield in southern MN during an unexpected rainstorm. It compares relationships to transportation and weather patterns. It's still one of my favorite songs to perform in an acoustic environment.

Lyrics
Baby wears low rise jeans
Lives in a high rise in midtown
cold kisses in the corn fields tonight
And they take you for a ride
Down the avenues and alleyways and dead ends
Motor cars run out of gas
Lightrail runs out of tracks
It's times like these I get weak in the knees
and my stomach hurts like hell
I guess I should learn to live with this burn
and start moving on myself
You're just like a cloud
Baby likes to keep in touch
With my memories and answering machine
I lost my confidence
To past acquaintances and broken down old taxi cabs
You're just like a cloud
You come and go
And you rain
