17

Take me to your house And show me to all your family I don't care about The fool that it makes me seem 'Cause I know that you're 17 And I'm just an aging dandy The world is light and dark And we live in between When I was a boy I wandered the streets of downtown Staring at the sky And feeling that I didn't belong In a world where the gentle seem wrong And teeth get knocked out on Sundays I lay down in the shower And make it go away This fading world My lovely girl And I know that you're 17 And I'm just an aging dandy The world is light and dark And we live in between
