Lyrics
The smell of virgin pages wafted
Through the swinging doors
And the croaking speach he'd heard from countless
Councellors before
They said, "We all care for you,
We know how you've suffered,
But we know you can succeed
We used to have it so much rougher"
Theres hope in the words
And emotion in the eyes
It's so easy to be misled by the savvy, gentle guise
And like fools we trust the delivery...
But it's all just drunk sincerity
With maternal family assembly poised
Regarding the blue tube
And the numbers crept up higer
As the hawks stayed out of view
And then the general said,
"We don't want our boys dead,
Your sons and your husbands
Will be coming back heroes soon"
CHORUS
With steam, heat and rhythm
In the back seat of the car
And adolescent perspective projecting life's
Forcast to the stars
You heard love from the lips
You were rapt by the hips
And the promise was eternal,
But you couldn't see that far
CHORUS
