The Light Switches - Black Buick

I know it's dumb but I'll never admit it
That movie made me cry
I don't know if you're still listening
But I'll try and tell you why

You and I've both been to prison
And I suppose we both broke the law
But the only time I've ever been sorry
I never did get caught

We sat outside in the frozen old forest like outlaws often do
Without one word I heard your story
And now I know that it's true

I shivered and said we're young and reckless
And then one day we're not
You said when I am cold and breathless
Somewhere the sun is hot
It's foolish to seek out recognition
For any of the work that you do
When i was young I didn't believe you
Now I know it's true

One summer night you were supposed to be working
As the moon was rising high
Our friends and I were at Oregon Ridge drinking
Staring at the sky
We heard the sound of a roaring engine
We got scared and prepared to escape
But the ride that arrived bore us no evil
And the driver was hiding his face
With a crazy skull mask that made us all laugh
And everyone asked how you knew
I know it's dumb but I'll never admit it
And now you know that it's true
