Intro

--- X2

tonight all started

as a double date

an excuse to ignore the heat

on the ride back to her place

 her eyes sparkled with connection

but i knew i wasn't getting nothing

there goes the parking brake again

it's my last shot at rejection

so i tried for a kiss to no avail

but at least i got what i expected

she just looked and said "honestly,

you thought that you could get with me?"

i shrugged it off and let my eyes roll to the floor

"i'll find my own way to the door,

this is your last cue to get out of here"

that didn't hurt cause i didn't hard

with a beer bottle in my hand

i tried to hail a cab

the man said jump in

"my old friend"

and i was headed home again

the driver waits for a while

he said with a smile

i remember last time i came to st paul

i picked up some drunken wrecks

who needed all one detest

to check, if they got burned by backstage sex

the whole band, rode on one girl

who left out a small detail

that she got dosed and they were gonna burn like hell

i paid the man and step outside

into the downpour until he left me

i meant to ask if the car had been sterilized

cause those are the thing most troublesome

hot days and wet nights following

who was that girl backstage

is it the one that just denied me

god i hope so

oh god i hope so

god i hope so
