Well, all the parties on the streets are talking, store front mannequins sleeping in lights.

  We used to smoke while we were jaywalking like it was your birthday every other saturday night.

  Knew The bands so we never payed our cover.
E
  Wrote our names on the bathroom tiles.
A
  We never dressed to impress all the others,

I don't know why you don't take me down town like you got anywhere better to be.

Talk it up and give me the go round round like a good time tease.
         E
I'm only countin' on your cancellation,
