| I grew up in a seaside town where the devil lives
|
| Bonfire lights in the woods at night set to be afraid
|
| Down the street past the sweet shop, kids dipped in angel dust
|
| Up the block crooked cops always look the other way
|
| Took my board away
|
| Call it confiscate
|
| Under a rotting log in them woods, salamanders live
|
| They never have any trouble finding their own kind in the springtime
|
| I know its true you’d be happier with somebody else
|
| Tripping over the logs in the woods in your own time
|
| In the meantime
|
| I am your time
|
| Just trying to talk to you straight again
|
| Why would you listen to me?
|
| I went from listening to lightning
|
| To running from thunder
|
| From getting my ass kicked, to running for cover
|
| You say you’ll never be lonely
|
| I don’t think you can know me
|
| Cos we’re no good for each other
|
| We’ll both know that when its over
|
| Under this happy smile on my face there’s an angry boy
|
| All he wants is to win fist fights that he lost in high school
|
| I know that angry boys do not grown up lovers make
|
| I promise he will be quiet long enough for
|
| You to fall for
|
| Baby run away
|
| Just trying to talk to him straight again
|
| He’ll never listen to me
|
| We went from listening to lightning, to running from thunder
|
| From getting our ass kicked, to running for covers
|
| You’ll say you’ll never be lone…
|
| Maybe its the drugs and the alcohol talking
|
| Maybe it’s your neighbour and the shoes that he was walking
|
| Maybe it’s the empty promise of tomorrow
|
| Suspect it was the hippies and the money that they borrowed
|
| Maybe there’s no Jesus here to save us from the devil
|
| Maybe we’re just like Roman we can blame the Heavy Metal
|
| Maybe building suburbs wasn’t such a good idea
|
| Maybe this is the condition of being stupid human beings
|
| Who think its possible to listen to lightning?
|
| You say you’ll never be lonely, then I don’t think you can know me
|
| 'Cos we’re no good for each other
|
| We’ll both know that when its over
|
| I know it sounds like the same damn tune, but its somebody else’s song
|
| And if we’re talking about…
|
| I’ll give you the lame excuse I’m gonna do what my father did
|
| Baby if that’s all we got, baby we don’t deserve this |
