Taken from the 1995 album Sparkle and Fade
Lyrics:
We have been sleeping with the lights on
Just about every night
Because we are afraid of what the dark might bring
I know, I know it's just a childish fear
That grows and grows wild in the middle of me
I'm gonna get a new tattoo
Black and stretching around my arm
Like a life that is visible and real
I know, I know it's stupid and immature
I just want to give shape to the face
That twists inside both you and me
Breathing fire -- doesn't look good on a resume
Neither does anything else we do
We got to get ready for the real world
Yeah yeah we got to grow up
You know I like to die for awhile
Everyday in the afternoon
I like to let the arms of a bar
Wrap around me tight
I'm just going to sprawl in the front booth
Big drink above my head
Cross eyed and smiling as I watch the world
Go twisting by
I don't want to die with you
Or live in the same dark room
I don't want to see your bloodshot eyes no more, no more
I just want to take this girl -- all curls and big brown eyes
Man I can't take the pain of wanting her, needing her
I know the secret of your soul
And I just don't want to know --
Yeah, man we got to grow up

Bought this CD when I was 19. Now listening to the album 16 years later (can't believe it's been that long), I appreciate the album even more. Those were great days.....

Yeah this is a sweet song. I really love The World of Noise though and the White Trash Hell EP.

@TheseHipsDontLie87 ...or better yet, why even have this lame thumbs up/down system anyway? I prefer the old 5 star rating system that we had before Googletube changed it last year, oh well. Thanks for the thumbs up though, glad you like it :)
