when they start shooting will you be there

when they start marching will you clap them

it's like everything I've ever wanted, turns to rust time plays its part

your diary's a broken record

full of love, loss and pain

you write everything you've ever wanted, down before you lose again

can you hear the sounds of the suburbs maybe

we could find a place where the ocean's breaking

will you answer questions when they beat you

or will you stand and stare into space

you're an inch ahead of your time you're an accident waiting to happen

and you can't go home again, no you can't come back

ask your father for a ride before he loses

the keys to the sedan you know, lets go cruising

and ask your mother for some cash we both could use it

this could be the only day, so don't come back…

don't come back
