Step Inside

Step inside
Everybody love tonight
The universe won't always be around
And if we can get it together
Baby I won't take my life tonight
No!

With the mountainous ridges surrounding us, my city is
A fortress sitting on the shores of the Pacific
To the North is the wilderness; it’s glorious influence
Is seeping into our pores, and making foreigners envious
It’s like the party never ends for the Vancouverites
Young bucks at the bar get scarred by cougar bites
And the attitude is usually: “Just do what you like”
Go out bruisin’ with your crew at night and get bruised in a fight
Or just get high all the time until you ruin your life
But it’s all good; that’s how the West Coast rides
We’ve got raves in the woods on some techno vibes
And when we get stressed out, we just step outside
‘Cause at night, you can see the ski hill from the highway
And ride past a cedar mill on the sky train
It’s a city of industry with a bohemian mind-state
And that’s why we get it live on a Friday

Step Inside
Step right off the precipice
Down into the dark abyss tonight
Cause they say that love will never die
So you and I'll be fine

British Columbians are known to smoke a lot of weed
It keeps the people feelin' taller than the tops of trees
And did you that growin' dope was our economy
Up in suburban rental residential properties
We rock a party like “I wonder where my daughter sleeps”
You might just wanna check up in between our cotton sheets
We're kinda cocky, but we're honest in our arteries
So step inside and join the party

Step inside
Everybody love tonight
The universe won't always be around
And if we can get it together
Baby I won't take my life tonight
No!

Welcome to the west coast where folk grow fresh dope
And blow smoke rings until they end up in Fresno
It's 'Hello, where you from? What's your name?
Let us chill and kick down until I catch the last train'
For now I'll smoke hash and go dance to tracks played
We got rappers and singers like Ndidi Cascade
Vancity transit trackin' over to Main
Science World in the back as we're passin' it always
We got the geese in the sky
Got the beaver on fives
Got the weed in the pipes
Got the skiing at night
We're just feelin' the vibe peepin' the resource
Peace to my peeps that are deep in the East Shore
Hittin' keg stands and beer bongs on the weekend
Hippie kids rockin' hemp pants and sleepin' on beaches
This is a way of life and this is how we breath
Step inside our province and fall in love with B.C

Step inside
Everybody love tonight
The universe won't always be around
And if we can get it together
Baby I won't take my life tonight
No!

Step Inside
Step right off the precipice
Down into the dark abyss tonight
Cause they say that love will never die
So you and I'll be fine
