She was a street-smart girl in her summer dress With her long blonde hair you know I must confess This is the closest thing that I have ever known And don't you understand that we are on our own Soon we get it back which we thought we lost And I haven't paid but wait till I get my chance And then I make mistakes which I always do I need to check my head to make sure I use my Common sense You listen to me as I speak the truth These words are all irrelevant I take my place and stay awhile You seem so sure I bet To be knee deep in art To keep me coming back I see that now this is just another flame You play your part and I'll do the same And as we both shake hands I know the race is on Then you say my name just like I thought And don't you ever look back or you cross it off Can't you see quite clear that we both are lost And as I take you down just like all the rest While I'm in control I try my best at Common sense You listen to me as I speak the truth These words are all irrelevant I take my place and stay awhile You seem so sure I bet To be knee deep in art
