Do you remember when
This vacant business district
Where we used to sit
Curse and spit
Boarded up now
Home to the vandals
The restless criminals
Small town dropouts
Some lay their heads down
Some write their names down
We live in a ghost town
Our lives have been torn down
They are not even there now
We got up and got out of town
Do you still see my face
My mint green Chevy nova
That drove threw these streets
For twelve weeks
Until the engine seized
It was you and me
Wishing we had the time and the money
To save this beautiful machine
Instead of drinking rum in the backseat
We live in a ghost town
Our lives have been torn down
They are not even there now
We got up and got out of town

He is 83
Watches the world from a window
Fixing tube Tvs
Best since 1950
The building ban lifted after the war
Expanded network
Half of America now tuned in
The world seems to spin
Pretty fast for him
He smiled and kept up his head
When I'm gone leave the light on
Even though it's quiet at the storefront
I'll be watching the meters
In case your still sleeping and your time runs out
Back then the burst phase was drifting
Before the solid state
Then the seventies came with fury
Quality improving
Electric tuners had the dials replaced
To change the station
From black and white to technicolor
When I'm gone leave the light on
Even though it's quiet at the storefront
I'll be watching the meters
In case your still sleeping and your time runs out

I want it all
I want it crashing
For the first time
I feel like nothing
Had it up to here
With progression
Falling fast
In a slow death situation
The dark sides of lives
We run from we can't hide
We will tear it all down
Tonight
We won't hide
From ghosts that haunt us
Cut holes in sheets
Make them walk among us
Tonight
We won't talk about the future
Instead we will fall in love
again with each other

A decade went by in such a blur
Not cause I was wasted
My long term memory is long gone
The youth we had is wasted
Tongue and cheek we'd curse the sky
Beaten down wrecks with our heads held high
Get up and go
Or race back home
Learn to breathe life here on your own
Or dig our own graves
Say what you say
Make our own way
Across the map
Burning gas
Longing hearts
Crashing cars
Lately it's been reminiscing
I will take one more story
What will we do when we've told them all
Have we used up all the glory
We're way too scared
To stay up until the morning
Get up and go
Or race back home
Wake up and live
Like Ray Cappo
Or dig our own graves
Say what you say
Make our own way
Across the map
Burning gas
Longing hearts
Crashing cars
