school girls on speed

In drugs and death we drown ourselves
Some advertisement for the young and living
The horrors of sleep lie heavy on me
If I don’t chase you up, I never settle
On the road I chase a thousand fantasies
Along neon strips of riding joy and beer caps
Summarise your love up in a play-list and learn it in your sleep
To seduce the wise or heady for whom you’re daydreaming sonny
Understand jazz when you’re young and the blues won’t drag you down
Make friends in a crowd and take them home
Don’t listen to the cool kids, jammy will never learn, watch him tire of the town
The bass line is always there baby
Feel it kick and scream while you try to hold it down
Time erupts around your essence on the flip side
You’re there, and don’t he just know it
Give it to them all and speak of better worlds where we all wear ball gowns
But just can’t help our urge to jive and jitter-bug jutter like school girls on speed
