Yes You Are
Sumerian Vacation
I had lunch with Tom today
At the Jerusalem cafe
But he still can't believe the flood took my Saturn
And daddy gave me a grey Highlander
Gloria Story walked right in
Wearing relaxed fit jeans
And a white Victoria's Secret t-shirt
Telling me about her odd job that started Tuesday
Then all the colors came together
Underneath the summer sun
In record breaking weather
Like the heat of 81
Another year is turning over
And a new one just begun
And it's not like me to pretend
I'm never gonna be the same again
I found Marie working uptown
Alone at Sears and took her down to play at the casino
By our old condo that burned during the city police raid
We left them all on Noland Road
Afraid and wondering what is real
And what might be illusion
Singing some old songs by Sorry John Livingston
Then we hit the park together
Kingda-Ka to kingdom come
In record breaking weather
Like the heat of 81
Another year is turning over
And a new one just begun
And it's not like me to pretend
I'm never gonna be the same again
To take a walk by the old school
You're coming home and now you feel cool
Just like a child you start to smile
Everybody's got something to hide
Nobody knows but it won't be long
Dance to the radio playing our song
Fell into a trance to the sound of a bell
Baby do you promise not to tell?
