I dont know too much about, Too much of my old man I know he walked right out the door We never saw him again Last I heard he was at the bar Doing himself in I know I've got that same disease I guess I got that from him.

I said something about growing young Shopping for drinks in the afternoon Hotels in town kisses in the lawn We can share some private thoughts But she whispered But she whispered Burn my letters and ditch my friends Fasten my love with alluring chains But she whispered But she whispered Somewhere sunlight shines all night Faces of the people hanging for life Eye balls bulge with fear and love I stick my tongue into her mouth But she whispered But she whispered I said something about growing young Shopping for drinks in the afternoon But she whispered But she whispered But she whispered But she whispered So you think you run away away To somewhere I don't know don't know So you think you run away away To somewhere I don't know don't know
