Alright, I’m on Johnson Avenue in San Luis Obispo |
And I’m five years old, or six, maybe |
And indications that there’s something wrong with our new house |
Trip down the wire twice daily |
I’m in the living room watching the Watergate hearings |
While my stepfather yells at my mother |
Launches a glass across the room, straight at her head |
And I dash upstairs to take cover |
Lean in close to my little record player on the floor |
So this is what the volume knob’s for |
I listen to dance music |
Dance music |
Okay, so look, I’m 17 years old |
And you’re the last best thing I’ve got going |
But then the special secret sickness starts to eat through you |
What am I supposed to do? |
No way of knowing |
So I follow you down your twisting alleyways |
Find a few cul-de-sacs of my own |
There’s only one place this road ever ends up |
And I don’t want to die alone |
Let me down, let me down, let me down gently |
When the police come to get me |
I’m listening to dance music |
Dance music |
