|
My parents split up in the first grade |
|
My father never did come back |
|
My sister liked John Travolta |
|
But I wanted Billy Jack |
|
Throwing things off of the rooftops |
|
40 buildings all the same |
|
My mother took a job as a waitress |
|
Swimming in the divorce age |
|
When you're all alone |
|
And you're all alone |
|
When you're all alone and you're almost grown |
|
Me and Holly snuck into night clubs |
|
The politics of punk rock church |
|
We were so idealistic |
|
But somehow only saw the worst |
|
When you're young and violent sick and silent |
|
Hoping just to be admired |
|
Water seeks its level of pain |
|
And you're all alone |
|
And you're all alone |
|
And you're all alone |
|
And you're almost grown |
|
Some old friends retired too |
|
But they still laugh about me and you |
|
My mother's ashes went into the ocean |
|
Scattered on a windy day |
|
She used to like Frank Sinatra |
|
Cigarettes and JFK |
|
Some retired some expired some were meant |
|
To be admired for a moment at a young age |
|
But I don't care what they say others went and got away |
|
I just want to see her again |
|
When you're all alone |
|
When you're all alone |
|
When you're all alone |
|
You're almost grown |
|
When you're all alone and your heart is stone |
