| I listened to your record and it made me want to jump out a window
|
| But in a good way
|
| Dad was yelling at you to come to dinner, oh
|
| With his uptight new fiancée
|
| You said you didn’t even know you were sad
|
| But the singer made you realize that lovin’s a drag
|
| You started dressing in black and stopped shaking hands
|
| You and I we get along so we stayed friends
|
| Come back from the city, shop at secondhand
|
| And bring me a T-shirt of our favorite band
|
| You had a little gang down at the cemetery
|
| All caught in costume, all write the poetry
|
| But they couldn’t write their way out of a dictionary
|
| You couldn’t wait to pack up and go
|
| We were in a happy stage, until you read suture at too early an age
|
| You started dressing in black and stopped shaking hands
|
| You and I we get along so we stayed friends
|
| Come back from the city, shop in secondhand
|
| And bring me an 8-track of our favorite band
|
| (You and I didn’t have an 8-track player, but we imagined it would sound
|
| something like this)
|
| If we were competing in a race to hell
|
| You’d want to win the bronze, silver and the gold as well
|
| You hate most everything and everyone
|
| But you and I get along under the Sackville Sun |
