lyrics

noisy traffic ,down on the street
there building a home for rich people, next-store
i got up early, it's 11 o clock
i slept all night with a boy
i slept all night with a boy

don't get me wrong, he's almost 19
i'd never break any law
the kings of this world
are good as there word
you can trust them, as far as you throw
you can trust them, as far as you throw

the sun is up. it's time for a toke
my boy and i, we both know
the dirty rivers, that run through our lives
were made by the yachts in the cove
were made by the yachts in the cove

the night was cool
and you were so warm
i dreamed we were running
i dreamed we were tumbling
and all of the stars
that covered the sky
sparkled so far away
but we were so close

noisy traffic ,down on the street
there building a home for rich people, next-store
i got up early, it's 11 o clock
i slept all night with a boy
i slept all night with a boy
