pout

i saw you were coming and i tried to run away
i heard you were calling, but i don’t have a thing to say.

we used to get dressed up and you’d spray your hair real high,
then we would walk out in the rain and the blue ran in your eyes
and the streetlights all blew out, all we had to do was pout.

take it away, it’s cheaper than a matinee
i heard a sound, did you know the walls were fallin down?

let’s sign off on the album, and have the world down at our feet
or we could just go drop a few and then lay down in the street.
sick old song, maybe it went on too long.

take it away, i’ve had enough of that today.
i heard a sound, did you know the walls were fallin down?

i got all tight in the throat when you stole the tour bus
i think they were hopin to snap a few of the two of us.
i hid in the parking lot and i watched without a sound
why couldn’t you have understood when i said, “i’ll see you ‘round?”

sick old song, sick old song.

just gimme the keys, they’re lying right there by your knee
get outta town. call me when the walls are fallin down.
