Misspent Youth |
| The glory of a misspent youth |
| Chasing tire stains in muted thunder |
| Trading sex for drugs |
| And my Ophelia does not drown |
| She just barely hangs on |
| Now driving drunk in Daddy’s car |
| Honey, I won’t spoil the ending |
| But see that bend up in the road? |
| Didn’t it seem that the night |
| Was a little too quiet? |
| When it seems your subjects |
| Have all forgotten you |
| I need you to pretend that you are mine |
| And the water is just deep enough to |
| Take another chance |
| Ah, but the river doesn’t want you tonight |
| The engine was not built to last |
| And there’s a permanence |
| To the memory of a bruise |
| But I still take it on |
| The chin for you |
| You are not alone here |
| But you ain’t helping me none |
| Disabled motorist |
| In the road, I have become one |
