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
