Peddling on down the road
To see a horse about a moon, child
And, If i always did what i was told
I'd be unemployed and violent
I'm calling up Lorraine
I call her by her name
2 glasses of wine
And then the girl loses her mind
Now I'm peddling on down the road
Trying to forget you
Peeking in to your windows
It's easier than asking
Who exactly you're doing what with
And why they're so persuasive
And when I hear your name
The feelings eat my brain
I'm overcome with something
Can't begin to chew gum
As I pedal on down the road
Trying to forget you
I'm whistling on down the road
The band's playing in someone's basement
I do fear I'm getting older
And still time is pure and brilliant
Then, I forget how to play
I worry about a scene
A room full of drunks
Keep looking at me
And, I'm on my merry way
Trying to forget you
I'll creep up to you someday
And let you know some old secrets
If you promise to watch me play
I'll put you on the V.I.P list
What? Is what you really want to say
The moment's running thin
I look into your eyes
You keep looking-at-a-him
I take a white piece of paper
And sound out your favorite letters
To mix them and match them
Will make a message for you
Regardless of what I do
Your worst friends despise me
And if my dreams are coming true
Then, you're meeting me next Friday
I'm looking at 2
I'm thinking 'bout subtraction
Anything will do
I'm just a needing a distraction
Cause I'm staring at a new baseball
Trying to forget you
I'm looking at the phone on the wall
Trying to forget you
I'm sitting in a bathroom stall
Trying to forget you
Oh Lordy, I'm doing it all
Trying to forget you
