Lyrics
Hey child, it's a quarter to four
You know we took a little time with my head on the floor
Before I understood why I needed to find the door
Well, summer's here to rattle ceiling fans
A lot of people leaning up against the moving vans
You know they're piling all their bottles, laying in a garbage can
Well, the wind is hot and all the leaves are green
And now I'm reading what you say on the computer screen
Hey, I knew that this was coming back when we were seventeen
But don't anybody say don't look back
I'm not gonna go to pieces when I ride around this town
Oh, the things you've done have made me what I am
And that's catching the bus and singing the tears of the clown
So we can walk around and we can laugh all night
It's hard to fit a lot of years in a Friday night
Because there always seems to be something left to say
Well, we got a little muddy in the two-wheel drive
You know we broke down flat on the M25
After freshman year they say you're lucky to be alive
Well, you can be assured that we were not the first
To look across that parking lot and put a curse
On any space and time that brings an end to me
You try to fall in love, you try to get control
You try to find a little bit of that in rock and roll
But that's almost enough when there's nothing that you know to say
But don't anybody say don't look back
I'm not gonna go to pieces when I ride around this town
Oh, the things you've done have made me what I am
And that's catching the bus and singing the tears of the clown
So we can walk around and we can laugh all night
It's hard to fit a lot of years in a Friday night
Because there always seems to be something left to say
Well, I'm walking out the door
I'm not thinking 'bout before
But you're always on my mind
Don't anybody say don't look back
I'm not gonna go to pieces when I ride around this town
Oh, the things you've done have made me what I am
And that's catching the bus and singing the tears of the clown
So we can walk around and we can laugh all night
It's hard to fit a lot of years in a Friday night
Because there always seems to be something left to say
Thanks a bunch
We're Cold Roma Candle, thanks for being here
Thanks for that
