lyrics

Deborah, some may say we're flawed
but no one walks along these streets who hasn‘t yet been burned
Deborah, lock up all these doors
so much energy up to no good
well, no one’s keeping score

So you tear down the brick walls
and you crash your mothers car
because it makes you feel much better
say it was a counter measure
Deborah

Deborah, it‘s 3 a.m I know
and I‘ve been banging on your windowpane
for you to come outside
Deborah, your dime store troubadour
well, he‘s down on his luck
he's singing songs down by the record store

We‘ll just hang on for a while
then burn down the discotheques
then make a run for better weather
till life shuts us up forever
yeah, oh my, we're taking it by and by
if that don‘t make us feel much better
Deborah, what are we after?
Deborah

Deborah, let me take you there
See, just cause we‘ve been down so long
you feel the worse for wear
Deborah hey, I won't swim no more
and this slow boat it‘s just full of holes
we‘ll never get too far

Could we just hang on for a while?
act out all Byronesque
make a run for better weather
till life shuts us up forever, yeah
oh my, we‘re living it on the sly
if that don‘t make us feel much better
Deborah, what were we after?
Deborah
