Boy Rex El Coyote
Tell us all the secrets in this town, in the way
You left your own behind
That short black hair, oh you're smoking now?
Are you better off?
Tell us of all the girls and the vampire boys in the shadows
We didn't know which way it'd go
If you'd wanna be our friend
If underneath the glitz and glamour
You would even be our friend
(oh yeah)
We're plain clothes ghosts, haunted memory
Maybe you just want to forget
Then we walk the length of Silver Lake, of your past
You tell us you're miserable
But you're making do best you can
We didn't know which way it'd go
If you'd wanna be our friend
If underneath the glitz and glamour
You would even be our friend
(oh yeah)
The night before: you read us letters
Private and outlandish but not altogether unromantic
He's no vampire boy, but he's been flirting with the shadows
You've both got good intentions in the middle of re-invention
Everybody changes
It's in our human nature
We get a little messy
We clean it up (we clean it up)
Everybody changes
It's in our human nature
We get a little messy
We clean it up (we clean it up) later
So it goes…
On the ride home we roll down the windows
And drive fast
The music mingles with the wind blow
As I think about him
As I think about about you
As I think about about us
About how far away we are
