in her prime

Strokes

Well i lived this life and i was just seventeen
This house was built on mama's broken dreams
And it took me by surprise
When she looked me in the eyes

Arrest these teachers for what they have read
And give all your money to the living dead
Like a call girl in her prime
Arriving just in time

Well i am a sentimental man,
Try to reach to god with just one hand
Rejecting offers to be with you oh he does it to
Keep you by his side
No way to wave a goodbye
And im waiting im waiting my lady

And I'm redefining what they could not percieve
Upon their big arrival and then they cheat on three
And he took them to his side
And they could not wait to hide

And I am a sentimental man
I try to reach to God with just one hand
Rejecting offers to be with you
Oh he does it to
Keep you by your side
A new way to say goodbye
I'm waiting
For my lady

And I lived this life and I was just seventeen
This house was built on mama's broken dreams
I put it all aside
And she looked me in the eye
Was I gone for too long
Did I say something wrong, girl?
