Ribbons are flying out the window. As we drove down the interstate. Sex was something so brand new, It was hard as hell to wait. She made faces at the goddamn Rednecks. She said "Look at you boy, you must worship Satan." Just because I had the same long...

I was set up from the get-up, and I drove the wrong way home. Into your eyes of blue, yeah I could barely take my mind off you. So you set it, then you let it, slowly take the life from you. Getting so high from the fumes, of a burned out so-called you. And I...

So you had a lot of friends, big black Benz, Rockin' like "Dokken" til the party ends. Pink champagne, can't complain, everyone's there for you. Messed up hair, messed up nose, Cocaine habit that no one knows about. Even thought the lies get told, everybody kn...

Maybe it's just me, but you seem finally happy I don't think I've seen your face just glow Like a neon sign and maybe we should be alone for ever after, Cause even thought the nights are long At least I'll make it another day Cause I can't live if you're not...

You got lost, For a while. You've been trying to find a smile. You got stood up, then you fell down, and when you needed , there was no one 'round. You loved the previews and hate the movie. You scream at the screen, "Something move me!" before you start to fa...
