Surely You, Kid

[Think Clash/Cure/Elfman..early 80's punk stuff like human sexual response's POUND]

When you talked to me it was like a weather report
Cloudy, mondays, red rains, tears down
Our love, you said, was like the deepest ocean
But your head was above as you let me drown
I ate up all the words you fed me
I chose to cry the night you left me
And in the end it didn't suit me
To have your memory
Or your clothes

You called me kid as you read my lips
Nights were long and our sweat was rich
Your voice sang softly but without truth
for months you had forgot my youth
Who was I to change your mind
I knew she'd leave in a shorter time
And look who now is on your mind
But I've got better loves to do.

Touching you was like the world was gone
Nothing but our bed, and no other sounds
Our love, you said, was breathing freedom
But you were sighing as I gasped it down
I drank down all the ways you touched me
Even though you never loved me
Our last night didn't make me
Keep you in memory
or smell your clothes

You called me kid; gave me one last kiss
You grumbled, "hey there's nothing to miss";
Your words sliced through me, without thought
for months before I was all you wanted
Who was I to change your mind
I knew she'd leave in a shorter time
And look who now is on your mind

Tough luck kid, I've love without you
Sorry Kid, that time is long through
Hey kid, that's the past, not the new
Kiddy boy, I did great without you
Hey...kid! Hey kid!
Hey ...kid? Hey kid!
(yelled) It was sex kid!
(male voice pleading in back to fade...)-
She was a grown-up, right kid?
Kid? hey kid? I didn't mean it
Now I see you, I want to feel you
Hey kid...? kid??
Aw man...now look where I am
