There’s no better music than your sophomore year
when you met her
I’m telling you, there’s not-
That’s the best music ever made,
when you took off your dad’s Stones
and Beatle records and finally put on something YOU like-
that you saved for and you walked down to
Middle Earth Records for- an import at that-
a band with a funny name, a weird haircut,
and a strange-looking record cover that sounds
absolutely delicious

Walking towards nowhere and we never get there either
Heaven must be a freeway and I’m walking across the overpass
