They used to think it was so cute |
|
When she said, "Dyer Maker" |
|
All the boys knew it was a joke about |
|
JamaicaShe'd always find a ride back home from the bar |
|
She used to feel so stupid when they'd talk about the music |
|
Born into every single tune |
|
They used to hum against her lips with their hands on her hips |
|
They used to kiss in the car |
|
Dancing days, houses of the holy |
|
Hotshot in the city in the middle of the prairie |
|
Flirting with the boys with all her charms |
|
But first they laugh, then they eyes then the touch 'em on the arm's |
|
And the drinks, they never seem to cost money |
|
And Saturday night was a runway |
|
That extended into |
|
Sunday and sometimes |
|
MondayBack then it was beautiful, the boys were sweet and musical |
|
The laser lights looked mystical, messed up stuff felt magical |
|
Girls didn't seem so difficult, boys didn't seem so typical |
|
It was warm and white and wonderful, we were all invincible |
|
Tired eyes, trampled under foot |
|
Dazed and confused, c-c-cocaine blues |
|
She hasn't got any eye contact tonight |
|
The boys are getting younger and the bands are getting louder |
|
And the new girls are coming up like some white unopened flowers |
|
She's pretty sure that that's where their power is |
|
Back then it was unified, the punks, the skins, the greaser guys |
|
Then one summer, two kids died and one of them was crucified |
|
Now it's so competitive, the sleeplessness and sedatives |
|
I know it sounds repetitive, every show can't be a benefit |
|
We were kids in the crowd now we're dogs in this war |
|
We were wasps with new wings, now we're bugs in the jar |
|
We were hot, soft and pure, now we're scratched up in scars |
|
We were counting cards, now we eat in our cars |
|
The boys in the band they know they'll never be stars |
|
Back then they were quite convinced, firing and sickering |
|
The front row girls were posturing, we were all imagining |
|
And man, we had some massive nights |
|
Some bashes and some bloody fights back before those two kids died |
