Permanent Record

Tooling around on the back roads and highways
And fooling around with our friends
We would cut out of school after two on a Friday
So fast it would give us the bends
We were restless and bored but we couldn’t decide
If we wanted it ever to end
Yeah it was the school year
Or it was the summer
We’re still back there somewhere
The Hutchinson Parkway ran north and south
Like a vein down the length of an arm
Back when we were immortal a gun in the mouth
Wasn’t too much to keep us from harm
Divine intervention or accident
The world was our lucky charm
Yeah it was the school year
Or it was the summer
We’re still back there somewhere
Remember the time when we all got suspended
For skipping on school we were tripping on acid
They frog-marched us back to the building like prisoners
It didn't kick in till we got near the schoolyard
We kept it together like hardened professionals
Nothing was marked on our permanent record
Let’s make a permanent record
Of all our bad calls
Our downfalls
Were too small to really matter
They linger behind us
I think to remind us
Of how it happened
That we made mistakes
Without leaving a trace
Of a bitter lesson
When I heard about John I couldn’t believe it
It seemed so impossibly wrong
He sat in my chem class in an old Black Flag T-shirt
How could someone like that just be gone
He'd always seemed like he could take it or leave it
Way back when our days were so long
Yeah it was the school year
Or it was the summer
It was the school year
Or it was the summer
It was the school year
Or it was the summer
We’re still back there somewhere

You're Gonna Miss Me

You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
In the end
It’ll make
Such a beautiful song
But you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
Start out right love
End up wrong
Start out right love
End up wrong
In the end
It’ll break
Into beautiful song
And you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
At the end of the day
Gonna weep
Gonna pray
At the end of the year
Gonna wade
In your tears
Bed is empty
Night is long
Bed so empty
Night so long
In the end
Just the ache
Of that beautiful song
And you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
