Young And Happy!

Wild things talk
In the filthy reservoir, today you are
Twenty one, twenty one
This car's uninsured, I think it still knows how to run
Down to Savannah, Georgia
No sisters who came before ya
Were so true in all
The world going dark
And changing around you

Someone we love hitched a ride to
Minneapolis, it aged him too soon
Someone, I never told you, I turned my back on
Now I think she hates me, hates me
To be a child again! And easily forgiven
But i've done my fair share to
Weaken the envied innocent

At least with you
I got to be young and happy!
Now to think of all the strangers i've followed
My hands empty
With you

Then the day came when I had to tell you a lie
It was to protect you and that's another lie

In Savannah, Georgia
Tired specters stretch their arms
Couldn't you stay
If you looked the other way?

At least with you
I got to be young and happy!
Now to think of all the strangers i've followed
My hands empty
With you
