lyrics

God of thunder and rock ‘n’ roll was on his knees behind her, all systems go. He asked her how she wanted it and she said, “Anything but soft and slow.” So he pulled the belt out of the loops and, well, you know. And I think we’ve crossed a line here. The manuscripts are still undone. But the Glenwood lights keep calling us. Let’s be young. Let’s have fun and get caught up in the swell. But we’ve been kidding ourselves. We’re kidding ourselves. We can finish our respective fifths in the purple pre-dawn light. We can brag about the bruises we left on girls last night. We can chase down every Delia, every anklet and every throat. But 30’s coming for me, Billy. 30’s gonna get us both. And I know I’ve crossed a line here. Don’t you wanna see your manuscript done? It was satin while it lasted, a perfume-drunk unprecedented run. And I’ll always remember it well. But we were kidding ourselves.
