When I was young I was left to fend for myself A latchkey leaves the door open to almost anyone else I met the brothers out behind Montgomery Mall Launching long florescent tubes against the brick wall Take me there, take me there, take me anywhere Let me be by your side, in revolt Let me wear your overcoat We fluttered through jr. high like a cloud Got grounded in 10th against a chain link fence They were sent away to trade school in Somerset I got left once again to fend for myself Take me there, take me anywhere Let me be by your side, don't say no Let me wear your overcoat She rose olympic from of the pool The pinking shears in her hands bright like a dagger I stood before her in nothing but my overcoat Held out my sleeves, torn and tattered Take me there, take me anywhere Let me be by your side, don't say no Just let me keep my overcoat
