Sad punks in the autumn of our wild life
No more crowds, no more clowning our time away
Got to eat right, yeah, cook for ourselves and be
Home on time, get to sleep get to deadlines
But the hot night simmers outside...
We could have stayed young, unstable
Radioactive isotope material
But now - sad punks in autumn
Our tattoos traded in
For scarves and sweaters - no more huddling together
My window open just an inch
The streets my sound aquarium at night - clack clack
The skateboard goes - blub blub
The bubbles in my soda
Cackle of cars in traffic
Alarms humming through the wall
We could have stayed young!
We could have stayed young!
We could have stayed young, unusable
Toxic waste headed straight for the landfill
With red smiles painted on with teeth
drawn just below the mouth
Heavy fog over our town

First new Spencer Owen music in a while, God I miss this guy! Lo-fi wonder loops, reminds me of crossing the bridge from the east bay towards Sacramento. James Rabbit
