we were home alone
we were seventeen
we were weighing our options carefully
it was early spring
we were off from school
and no one knew they didn’t know where we were
so we split the gas
with our parents cash
and an alibi to cover all our tracks
worked out alright
all night
right up until our engines died
we were half passed out
we were seventeen
and nothing we did meant anything
we run around
we run around, woh woh
we run around
we run around

small-town kids on saturdays
everything closes early they still go out anyway
ride in their cars with their favorite songs
trying to find somebody with something they can get confused on
they feel romantic ’cause they’ve got excuses
and the belief that consciousness has several different uses
you and me never really dug that scene
i mean we listened to the music but we always kept our noses clean
all the kids on black street are trying out new things
with their friends from other neighborhoods they find so interesting
and they swear it’s gonna free us to have an even closer walk with jesus
they say we’ve got nothing to lose and several things to gain
there are days that you remember
but there are nights that you forget
times where you’d feel so complete
but you were barely conscious of it
so you can mourn the loss of energy
or you can try and view things positively
and buy more acid-rock cds
get lost in your old books of beat poetry and
all the kids on black street are trying out new things
with their friends from other neighborhoods they are experimenting
and they swear it’s gonna free us to have an even closer walk with jesus
they say we’ve got nothing to lose and everything everything
all the kids on black street are
all the kids on black street are
all the kids on black street are trying it

I Will Wait

i will wait
while you stroll
in every direction
going in circles
but never seeming to land on me
i guess I’ll make myself dinner
i eat my macaroni & cheese alone
with wet eyes and drying cheeks
the crisp snap-crackling of a can opening can mean some things
usually the end of a good night
without touching me you kick in my teeth
where is the potential you that i saw?
you’re no better than the day that we met
and am i?
i will wait for you
but why?

i was in the passenger seat of your car
you were driving home well after dark
i said i wasn’t tired and you said let’s park
it was a good night
i told you that i’d loved before
and you said you’d been loved
i said that that was fine, oh sure
i’d expected as much
love never feels quite as fun
as when you’re young but you’re not too young
i don’t care how much you think you know
some day you won’t wanna take it slow
we kissed and listened to your stereo
and on the drive home
i told you i’d been hurt before
and you said nothin’
i said that i was fine, oh sure
i knew what was comin’
you’ll never be near as sad
as when you’re young, but you’re not too young
i wanna be yours tonight
i wanna be yours tonight
i don’t wanna be my own
i wanna be yours tonight
