lyrics
We ran down the track to the water tower
And sheltered from the shower.
My guitar was slung over my shoulder
And I played you songs for hours.
The sun fell down around us
And we smoked through the darkness.
We were threatened by a sadness
As the glow ringed our faces.
‘Cause we’ve read the books and we’ve listened to the songs.
Whatever we have now, we both know it won’t last long
So we use our love as a bookmark as we hide in Cammo Park
‘Cause we both know how the story ends.
We walked back to your Daddy’s Lexus.
I felt a twinge in my solar plexus.
As you fiddled with your necklace,
You joked that I was so reckless -
So I took a bite out of my neuroses
And put a hand round your waist
Said ‘you smell of pleuroses’
And pulled you into place.
But we’ve read the books and we’ve listened to the songs.
Whatever we have now, we both know it won’t last long
So we use our love as a bookmark as we drive out of Cammo Park
‘Cause we both know how the story ends.
Maybe I’ll find that I can’t live
My lungs are your now, let me breathe
I walk with your legs and see with your eyes
We’re at the start but know what that implies.
As we drive beneath the trees
The blossom’s blown off by the breeze
To be replaced by pale green leaves,
The seasons never freeze.
I know you’re a competent driver
But up ahead there lies a danger.
We have no illusions of grandeur,
We know that we’ll be injured.
‘Cause we’ve read the books and we’ve listened to the songs.
Whatever we have now, we both know it won’t last long
So we use our love as a bookmark as we drive out of Cammo Park
‘Cause we both know how the story ends.
