Misspent Youth Lyrics

The glory of a misspent youth

Chasing tire stains in muted thunder

Trading sex for drugs

And my Ophelia does not drown

She just barely hangs on

Now driving drunk in Daddy's car

Honey, I won't spoil the ending

But see that bend up in the road

Didn't it seem that the night was little too quiet?

When it seems your subjects have all forgotten you

I need you to pretend that you are mine

And the water is just deep enough to take another chance

But the river doesn't want you tonight

The engine was not built to last

And there's a permanence to the memory of a bruise

And I still take it on the chin

For you

You are not alone

But you ain't helping me none

Disabled motorist in the road I have become one
