The room got heavy with a lamppost looming
|
We were driving in a circle somewhere near the station
|
Shoot me near the bushes, my eyes aren't focused
|
And we passed one parsing through the tunnel
|
|
Palisades Park, summer after dark
|
Hand holding fast to a party invitation
|
And the room got heavy but only for a minute
|
While everyone was waiting for you
|
|
The room got heavy, all the concrete in the air
|
And the couple around the corner at the yellow light blinking
|
She said "I wouldn't do that" but we all know that she did
|
From the look on her face, her arms slightly folded
|
|
And he headed for the door, reach across the floor
|
Hands in my pocket, my eyes aren't focused
|
And the room got heavy but only for a minute
|
While everyone waited for you
|
