passed out... on the overpass...
sunday's best and broken glass
broken down from the bikes and bars
suspended like spirits over speeding cars
you and me were kings over the parkway tonight
and tonight will go on forever
while we walk around this town like we own the streets
and stay away from summer like we own the heat
saying "everybody wake up - wake up - it's time to get down" (everybody - everybody wake up it's time to get down)

and when i pass the bottle back to pete on the overpass tonight i bet we laughed...

i'm gonna stay 18 forever...
so we can stay like this forever...
and i'll never miss a party
cause we keep them going constantly
and we'll never have to listen
to anyone... about anything...
cause it's all been done
and it's all been said
we're the coolest kids
and we take what we can get --

the hell out of this town, find some conversation
the low fuel lights been on for days
it doesn't mean anything
i got another 500, another 500 miles
before we shut this engine down...

i'm gonna stay 18 forever...
so we can stay like this forever...
and i'll never miss a party
cause we keep them going constantly
and we'll never have to listen
to anyone... about anything...
cause it's all been done
and it's all been said
we're the coolest kids
and we take what we can get --

i'm gonna stay 18 forever...
(just jealous cause we're young and in love)
so we can stay like this forever...
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
and i'll never miss a party
(and your spending all your nights alone in your bed)
cause we keep them going constantly
(and your tearing up pictures cause you want to forget)
(...it's over...)
and we'll never have to listen
(just jealous cause we're young and in love)
to anyone... about anything...
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
cause it's all been done
(and your spending all your nights alone in your bed)
and it's all been said
(and your tearing up pictures cause you want to forget)
we're the coolest kids
(it's over...)
and we take what we can get --


you're just jealous cause we're young and in love
you're just jealous cause we're young and in love
you're just jealous cause we're young and in love
you're just jealous cause we're young and in love
you're just jealous cause we're young and in love...
