We beat Chrono Trigger in a week,
They said it couldn’t be done,
But there’s not much to do,
In a wheat field town with your parents around,
And I never told you,
I never told you,
I never told you,
That it broke me then and I’m still broke now.
Well the Clearwater River stays cold,
It stays cold all summer,
When the other ones warm,
But we needed to feel alive,
And I knew it happened,
Like Wendy Darling,
When there was no wonderful place I would not leave behind.
Down the street to go to Max’s Party,
Drive like Magnums Ferrari,
Throwing up your mom’s locked Bacardi,
The whole school thought the vodka had gone bad,
Signed off on your loans for college,
Best friend took the anabolics,
Worked up my nerve to call you,
The old men say the decades don’t pass slow,
The old men say the decades don’t pass slow,
The old men say,
The old men say.
Learning backseat lessons,
In the white church van,
While everyone was inside,
Dropping pizza on the floor,
And we too have seen it,
The surf, the shore,
Listening though we land no more.
Down the street to go to Max’s Party,
Drive like Magnums Ferrari,
Throwing up your mom’s locked Bacardi,
The whole school thought the vodka had gone bad,
Signed off on your loans for college,
Best friend took the anabolics,
Worked up my nerve to call you,
The old men say the decades don’t pass slow,
Down the street to go to Max’s Party,
Drive like Magnums Ferrari,
Throwing up your mom’s locked Bacardi,
The whole school thought the vodka had gone bad,
Nothing to say if you can’t come with me,
Cross eyed, not seeing clearly,
Worked up my nerve to call you,
The old men say the decades don’t pass slow,
The old men say the decades don’t pass slow,
The old men say the decades don’t pass slow,
(Fade out)
