Team Electric
Part i:el gato
I never really had the youth that kids in old rock songs all do I never was the gunslinger or had no muscle car Just a tape player, pause+record the radio And a no name electric guitar
Autumn: i went driving spinning tires on the road I always kind of knew i'd die alone Winter: was no different, don't know why i thought it'd be It was too damn cold and i just wanted to sleep
In all the songs and books i've read, in friends who drank themselves to death Trying to be someone worth telling tales about I will not lay down, become another hopeless case Or some ghost that keeps hanging around
Spring: we were on fire, i never felt so free The words just flowed and they came so naturally Summer: i got tired, i don't know what you want from me It's not the end that sucks, just when you have to wait
(wait till the weight of the world brings you down Down, down, down to the ground)
Part ii: andrea doria
Oh darling, i miss you so You've been away about a year by now I hope you're well because i've been depressed as hell Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And i don't think i'll get used to getting old
Oh darling, i'll see you soon We've got a show in the city next week Another bar, i see you swing low like a star Pouring your light down on me
Part iii: felo de se
Well what can you say, you promised that you wouldn't change But you caved all the same for the chance on the stage and the fame And what can you do, it's another sold out show And you hate all the songs, but the kids sing along and love you But you're still alone
How's your life in the border lands? How's the outside looking in? Your yellow brick road has brought you nothing but gold And that distance between you and all your friends
Part iv: trompe l'?œ?il
Honey say hello to the kids, tell them daddy's on his way He'll be home by next may Every night i meet the best friends of my life And every day by dawn they're gone Some will say it's just the toll i've gotta pay But that don't help me sleep at night
