There's a drum beat

And a verse

Flooding my street

And the girls they seem ecstatic

This time it's not on them

To take the blame

For the commotion

In the front seat

Of the car you left out here

I've spent far too many hours

Still can't drive

Just playing through these tapes

Til it gets light outside

These are things I shouldn't do

Just wish I was close to you

Instead a block party with neighbors

These amplified words

And the absence of birds

Roll down the windows

Not a choice

Find the endo

I bet these boys will keep on dancing all night

For once they're not the ones being blamed

For the commotion

Like the drum beat

Like the noise

Loves the concrete

I hope this voice while it still lingers

This song

Escapes the tape

To reach your distant ears where it belongs

These are things I shouldn't say

These are things I shouldn't do

These are things I shouldn't say

Just wish I was close to you

Instead this block party with neighbors

These amplified words

And the absence of birds
