|
Our friends on the front porch and they telling the jokes and they |
|
Swinging oh-so-swiftly towards happier times |
|
Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort |
|
And getting distance from that front porch spotlight |
|
But us, we found peace in the shadows |
|
Long enough to see the monsters rise |
|
And Candy's got some space to fill in her daydreams |
|
Living high on yesterday's lies |
|
And talking to me about some zero percent interest |
|
And how she got a better deal than the next guy, oh my God |
|
And the way the lightning shocked us, oh, when we were lost |
|
Around that long deserted highway |
|
Well, our hair was longer then, and now I can remember |
|
Say, now well I remember oh-so-well |
|
Almost too well, now |
|
Oh, the roads unencumbered by cats |
|
They're burning like wet matches through my miracle mile mind |
|
But it's all in my mind |
|
You left your thumb print inside me now for months it seems |
|
But mine only brushes your soft surface |
|
And somehow, somehow it leaves me listless |
|
My tongue curls under my lips, oh, oh yes |
|
So I can speak to tell you of the months before I met you, love |
|
Oh, true love |
|
And the way the truth it locked us |
|
Right about the time after the lightning it shocked us |
|
When we were young, when we were young and missing |
|
'Round that small New England byway |
|
Our lives they were sheltered then and I can remember |
|
And I remember well, so well |
|
It's almost too well |
|
Well, it's not even being about that anymore |
|
I gotta get you down |
|
Those tiny fragments of perfection |
|
They please me in a time unchanged |
|
But it's all the same beginning |
|
And it's a long awaited end |
|
If I knew all the words I would write myself out of here |
|
If I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in gold in a picture |
|
So I'm told, little sister |
|
So now I'm sold, little sister |
|
Why don't you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden |
|
And the laws of Eden |
|
And how you were the rock of Gibraltar |
|
And how they called you foxy? (foxy) |
|
Well that's another whole box of Pandora's |
|
That's another whole box of them ties |
|
Slide your foot off the gas before we crash |
|
Right back into the median |
|
Right back into into the median, the median |
|
Oh lord, it separates |
|
Our house from the middle of the street |
|
Our house |
|
(Alright that's your part this time |
|
Here we go say it) |
|
Our house (Ah, that's nice) from the middle of the street |
|
Our house |
|
(Aright I'm gonna give it to Toca this time |
|
Oh, okay we're doing this still) |
|
Our house from the middle of the street |
|
(Uh! Damn, I got a powerhouse back here |
|
Hey, they're not making up for the rest of you |
|
You're gonna, uhh, okay) |
|
(K, only the sexy people) |
|
Our house from the middle of the street |
|
(Okay, only the horny people) |
|
Our house from the middle of the street |
|
(Only the sweaty people, ahh |
|
You guys aren't sweaty?) |
|
Our house from the middle of the street |
|
(One more time for the sex-heads) |
|
Our house from the middle of the street |
|
Our house, our house |
|
(In Spanish) |
|
Mi casa in del medio de la calle |
|
(One more time, here we go) |
|
Mi casa in del medio de la calle |
|
Oh, mi casa, mi casa, mi casa, su casa |
|
Our house |
|
Is on the front porch telling jokes and they |
|
Swinging oh-so-swiftly towards happier times |
|
They expending all those lines and finding more energy for the effort |
|
And getting distance from that front porch spotlight |
|
But us we found the peace in all of the shadows |
|
Oh, long enough to see the monster die |
|
Oh, long enough to see the monster die |
|
Oh, long enough, is it long enough? |
|
Is it long enough, is it long enough for me? |
|
Well, if it isn't, and if it isn't |
|
And if it isn't, and if it isn't |
|
If it ain't ain't, and if it don't |
|
Well, if it can't, then it won't |
|
Well, if it isn't, and if it isn't |
|
And if it isn't, and if it isn't |
|
If it ain't ain't, and if it don't |
|
Well, if it can't, then it won't |
|
And that's just way it goes |
|
(Toca freestyling.) |
|
(Give yourselves a hand for that one.) |
