his brother had a chevy malibu i was sitting in the back seat on some dead end road we werent supposed to know i remember thinking he would break my heart i was green as an evergreen but i fell right in never the same again duran duran on the radio the wild boys and the days of gold i was sitting on his right on his left was a fresh tattoo and man we were cool his daddy had a drinking problem my daddy worked way too hard and we were both running from what we swore wed never become killing time in a walgreens parking lot mapping out dreams that never came true when freedoms all you want freedoms really all you got smells like teen spirit on tape cassette before we ever heard of the internet redemption was a ragtop all we needed was fuel and man we were cool we were gonna burn this town down we were gonna run these streets till they ran out you worked the night shift slinging fast food all the french fries we could stand there was something in his eyes i could never quite define then wed race that v6 all night and i was like putty in his hands memorizing back roads till he had to take me home duran duran on the radio and those wild boys would never know we had a baby on the way the year our friends started school  but man we were cool and we were gonna burn this town down we were gonna run these streets till they ran out but then dreams fade into the ever blue and time just slips away from you so youre staring at each other remembering when we were cool
