In the beginning of time At the start of our lives We were moody but hopeful and green Introduced to the night The traditional lines Set on digging up clause in the feeling Trying to shake itself loose Adding salt to the wound Out of the brew to the dark age Writing a note on my phone To remind you tomorrow New keys for a new cage And there are alternate ways To see it If you mean it I wouldn't hurt anyone younger than me (i thought you were showing me a home) It's the open garage And the pre-dawn back yard Dark enough that you can't see a thing Getting stretched through the years Like the lobes of the ears Sing along along to the same old theme She believes in the truth And the frolic of youth She wears it like a badge now Writing a note on my phone To remind you tomorrow I thought you were showing me a home
