Our friends on the front porch and they telling the jokes and they Swinging oh-so-swiftly towards happier times Expending lines and finding more energy for the effort And getting distance from that front porch spotlight
But us, we found peace in the shadows Long enough to see the monsters rise And Candy's got some space to fill in her daydreams Living high on yesterday's lies And talking to me about some zero percent interest And how she got a better deal than the next guy, oh my God And the way the lightning shocked us, oh, when we were lost Around that long deserted highway Well, our hair was longer then, and now I can remember Say, now well I remember oh-so-well Almost too well, now
Oh, the roads unencumbered by cats They're burning like wet matches through my miracle mile mind But it's all in my mind You left your thumb print inside me now for months it seems But mine only brushes your soft surface And somehow, somehow it leaves me listless My tongue curls under my lips, oh, oh yes
So I can speak to tell you of the months before I met you, love Oh, true love And the way the truth it locked us Right about the time after the lightning it shocked us When we were young, when we were young and missing 'Round that small New England byway Our lives they were sheltered then and I can remember And I remember well, so well It's almost too well
Well, it's not even being about that anymore I gotta get you down Those tiny fragments of perfection They please me in a time unchanged But it's all the same beginning And it's a long awaited end
If I knew all the words I would write myself out of here If I was all the colors I would paint you pretty in gold in a picture So I'm told, little sister
So now I'm sold, little sister Why don't you tell me about the sunsets in Sweden And the laws of Eden And how you were the rock of Gibraltar And how they called you foxy? (foxy) Well that's another whole box of Pandora's That's another whole box of them ties
Slide your foot off the gas before we crash Right back into the median Right back into into the median, the median Oh lord, it separates Our house from the middle of the street Our house
(Alright that's your part this time Here we go say it)
Our house (Ah, that's nice) from the middle of the street Our house
(Aright I'm gonna give it to Toca this time Oh, okay we're doing this still)
Our house from the middle of the street
(Uh! Damn, I got a powerhouse back here Hey, they're not making up for the rest of you You're gonna, uhh, okay)
(K, only the ***y people)
Our house from the middle of the street
(Okay, only the horny people)
Our house from the middle of the street
(Only the sweaty people, ahh You guys aren't sweaty?)
Our house from the middle of the street
(One more time for the ***-heads)
Our house from the middle of the street Our house, our house
(In Spanish)
Mi casa in del medio de la calle
(One more time, here we go)
Mi casa in del medio de la calle Oh, mi casa, mi casa, mi casa, su casa Our house
Is on the front porch telling jokes and they Swinging oh-so-swiftly towards happier times They expending all those lines and finding more energy for the effort And getting distance from that front porch spotlight But us we found the peace in all of the shadows Oh, long enough to see the monster die Oh, long enough to see the monster die Oh, long enough, is it long enough? Is it long enough, is it long enough for me?
Well, if it isn't, and if it isn't And if it isn't, and if it isn't If it ain't ain't, and if it don't Well, if it can't, then it won't
Well, if it isn't, and if it isn't And if it isn't, and if it isn't If it ain't ain't, and if it don't Well, if it can't, then it won't And that's just way it goes
(Toca freestyling.)
(Give yourselves a hand for that one.)
