She cooks him ham and hotcakes | |
At 5:30 in the morn | |
She does the dishes | |
And irons his uniforms | |
And she thinks she might have loved | |
Him once but that was long ago | |
And the rain pours down | |
Like a holy waterfall | |
Over the gulf of mexico | |
The boardwalk's deserted | |
And the beach is all closed down | |
And the middle school punkrockers | |
Ride their skateboards | |
Through the town | |
And she looks back and she daydreams | |
About things and people she's never | |
Seen just to keep from being blue and | |
She gets home about a quarter to four | |
And drives her brother | |
To the liquor store on ocean avenue | |
And i'm parked on the state line on this | |
Cold november day and pretty soon i'll | |
Be a drivin fool somewhere down this | |
Lost highway then i hear a voice from | |
My soul's core sayin "freedom's just a | |
Metaphor, you got nowhere to go" | |
And the rain pours down like a | |
Holy waterfall over the gulf mexico |
She cooks him ham and hotcakes | |
At 5: 30 in the morn | |
She does the dishes | |
And irons his uniforms | |
And she thinks she might have loved | |
Him once but that was long ago | |
And the rain pours down | |
Like a holy waterfall | |
Over the gulf of mexico | |
The boardwalk' s deserted | |
And the beach is all closed down | |
And the middle school punkrockers | |
Ride their skateboards | |
Through the town | |
And she looks back and she daydreams | |
About things and people she' s never | |
Seen just to keep from being blue and | |
She gets home about a quarter to four | |
And drives her brother | |
To the liquor store on ocean avenue | |
And i' m parked on the state line on this | |
Cold november day and pretty soon i' ll | |
Be a drivin fool somewhere down this | |
Lost highway then i hear a voice from | |
My soul' s core sayin " freedom' s just a | |
Metaphor, you got nowhere to go" | |
And the rain pours down like a | |
Holy waterfall over the gulf mexico |
She cooks him ham and hotcakes | |
At 5: 30 in the morn | |
She does the dishes | |
And irons his uniforms | |
And she thinks she might have loved | |
Him once but that was long ago | |
And the rain pours down | |
Like a holy waterfall | |
Over the gulf of mexico | |
The boardwalk' s deserted | |
And the beach is all closed down | |
And the middle school punkrockers | |
Ride their skateboards | |
Through the town | |
And she looks back and she daydreams | |
About things and people she' s never | |
Seen just to keep from being blue and | |
She gets home about a quarter to four | |
And drives her brother | |
To the liquor store on ocean avenue | |
And i' m parked on the state line on this | |
