Lyrics
Walking around at night
Fighting my appetite
Every kid in cutoffs could be you
Remember when we used to meet
At the bottom of Mobile street
And do what the broken people do?
And are you still taking notes ?
The Holy Ghost could get inside you
You'd do whatever you put your mind to
Will you read me what you wrote?
When we were locked outside the building
Over-encoureged only children
Cold coffee on the fire escape
Bet it all on a demo tape
When we still had something left to steal
Remember when we took too much
to get a little of the human touch
Hand to mouth reel to reel
And are you still taking notes ?
Hydrocodone in your backpack
Maybe these words will hold the beast back
will you read me what you wrote
The one I said you stole from Dylan
Over-encoureged only children
Heaven's wasted on the dead
That's what your mama said
When the hearse was idling in the parking lot
She said you thought the world of me
And you were glad to see
They finally let me be an astronaut
Are you still taking notes?
Will you have anyone to talk to
Castle walls that you can walk through
Do the dead believe in ghosts?
Or are you lost in some old building
With Over-encoureged only children
