lyrics

Lived in my first apartment home when I was seventeen
I lived there with Sarah Lou, she never slept with me
In the next apartment over, lived Jeffery who never bathed
And Sarah kissed him in the woods while I was at work
And she told me later on that day
And I almost fell over the couch
It wasn’t so much that I loved her,
But that she had fun and left me out
And I stormed out like a crazy man
And I punched the window of his VW Bug,
But the only thing that broke was my hand
I busted into Jeffery’s place
He was in the dark, sitting on the couch
I screamed, “How could you, man?”
But he got up and just ran out
Sarah said to go to the ER
To get someone to look at my hand,
But I told her not to tell me what to do
And had my Mom drive me there instead
There were two guys at the ER just like me
Both of them had broken hands and girls they didn’t need
They gave me a cast and sent me home
To an empty apartment house and a future suddenly unknown

I drank to go to sleep
I smoked to stay awake
I had two friends move in with me
And we carried on much that way
Minors wanted alcohol
I wore a Devil mask and wings
I ate stale Ramen from the pan
And made sure they were scared of me

I started dating Barbara from work
She smiled a lot and listened to my band
And pretty soon it didn’t hurt
Sarah’s friends would drop by just because
And they’d say they heard that I was dating a model
And I would tell them that I was
