I used to front like Angkor Wat, Mechanicsburg, Anchorage and Dar es Salaam

While home from New York was champagne and disco
D#                 F
Tapes from l.a. slash San Francisco

But actually Oakland and not Alameda

Your girl was in Berkeley with her communist reader

I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
        F
Such a modest mouse

I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone

Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife

And punks who would laugh when they saw us together

Well they didn't know how to dress for the weather
D#                          Bb
I can still see them there huddled on Astor

Snow falling slow to the sound of the Master

You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl

Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her

The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her

Everyone's dying but girl - you're not old yet
