The End Of Innocence

The grass turned dry when we stopped walking,
Not a single laugh when we stopped talking
Hip hop died when they heard we'd gone
We were god's children and devil's spawn

Spray painting the streets when you were sleeping
The day we left, Notre Dame was weeping
Skateboards lying awry in the snow
Broken little iPods that keep playing 'Low'

Three grey hoodies hanging out to dry
It's a shame when there's no sun in the sky
The clubs don't stop playing the roadhouse blues
"All close before 12" is on the news

Yeah, We swallowed up every inch of our pride
Smoked up fire for our lungs inside
Played sex in the city like a video game
Girls like Sharona drove us insane

Dancing town to town to the piper's tune
Drawing all of us out to meet our doom
All Star heels, tapping at our door
One last night, and we'd exist no more

17, 18, 19, teen
Screwed up our lives and we made a scene
The worlds at your feet when you've got the finger
Nights like these, baby do not linger

So throw on your best, there's no cover charge
It's on the house, order an extra large
Say, "I Don't Care" like a Fall Out Boy
Fuck the world and just enjoy........
