Sweet 16

Don't get caught on the moving sidewalk

I noticed people thought they were TV

I saw a friend was moving up to me

But I don't know his name

Because down here we're all just the same

And stopped into the airport lobby

I saw a waitress taking off her clothes

Oh tell me anything that I don't know

And I'll tell you the same

Four foreign vowels and a kid's board game

There must be something here I'm missing

I am the spider and the centipede

I don't want anything that I don't need

But I want you to go

Beside the sidewalk buried in the snow

I'm walking away with my hands in the air

And I know you don't care

But I know just what you mean

I hope I get to see my sweet sixteen

I'm walking away with my hands in the air

Now I know it's not fair

Do you know just what I mean?

I hope I get to see my sweet sixteen

Where are you going Mr. Spider?

I brought a toothbrush and a switchblade comb

I left my girlfriend and I left my home

And I went off to see

Beside the sidewalk and the cherry tree

I want a garden and a family
