lyrics

I swore I had a friend
Who swore it’d never end
At the secret spot
Behind the Amoco lot
But by November 3rd
I learned a brand new word
For “nothing stays the same”
I rhymed it with her middle name
And by November 6
I was back to my old tricks
‘Cause that’s my birthday
I swore a friend

And school is back in session
At least I dreamed that it seemed like it was
And this was my last question
If the sacred stasis was the basis
For the places we thought we should be
But I swore I had a friend

Where Opdyke used to end
And the fast food signs just blend
Into the secret word
That only once occurred
On the long drive home
Past the Silverdome
Where anyone could see
The broken light in me
Where the daylight used to bend
I swore I had a friend

And school is back in session
At least I dreamed that it seemed like it was
And this was my last question
If the sacred stasis was the basis
For the places we thought we should be
But I swore I had a friend
