lyrics
We've been sleeping in a toolshed
It ain't no punishment
Got a mattress in the crawlspace
Where we lay our heads
Doesn't bother me the rent's cheap
A little shelter from the blitzkrieg
You can find me in a deep sleep
Where angels fear to tread
She was working in a pottery
I felt like I had hit the lottery
Didn't know what she saw in me
Or why she loved me so
A revolutionary petegree
Even though I'm only 17
I got everything ahead of me
but you can’t make me go
I just barely finished high school
and she’s 25 years old
You can’t tell two people
not to fall in love
In a couple months I’m heading east
and she’ll be flying south
but now the summer’s on
and I just can’t get enough
late at night we heard a thunder clap
almost gave us both a heart attack
I sat up and felt my head smack
against a 2x4
Made love in moonlight
Weather barkin’ like a dogfight
hoping that the roof was watertight
oh how the rain did pour
I just barely finished high school
and she’s 25 years old
You can’t tell two people
not to fall in love
In a couple months I’m heading east
and she’ll be flying south
but now the summer’s on
and I just can’t get enough
Said goodbye at the boat launch
Felt-like-a beating with a crowbar
A couple minutes she was so far
I couldn't see her face
I thought about her in the coming years
Got to missing her something fierce
But now and then the thing you need appears
When love is laid to waste
It ain't no punishment
Got a mattress in the crawlspace
Where we lay our heads
Doesn't bother me the rent's cheap
A little shelter from the blitzkrieg
You can find me in a deep sleep
Where angels fear to tread
She was working in a pottery
I felt like I had hit the lottery
Didn't know what she saw in me
Or why she loved me so
A revolutionary petegree
Even though I'm only 17
I got everything ahead of me
but you can’t make me go
I just barely finished high school
and she’s 25 years old
You can’t tell two people
not to fall in love
In a couple months I’m heading east
and she’ll be flying south
but now the summer’s on
and I just can’t get enough
late at night we heard a thunder clap
almost gave us both a heart attack
I sat up and felt my head smack
against a 2x4
Made love in moonlight
Weather barkin’ like a dogfight
hoping that the roof was watertight
oh how the rain did pour
I just barely finished high school
and she’s 25 years old
You can’t tell two people
not to fall in love
In a couple months I’m heading east
and she’ll be flying south
but now the summer’s on
and I just can’t get enough
Said goodbye at the boat launch
Felt-like-a beating with a crowbar
A couple minutes she was so far
I couldn't see her face
I thought about her in the coming years
Got to missing her something fierce
But now and then the thing you need appears
When love is laid to waste
