Passed out on the overpass 

Sunday best and broken glass 

Broken down from the bikes and bars 

Suspended like spirits over speeding cars 

You and me were kings over the parkway tonight 

And tonight will go on forever while we 

walk around this town like we own the streets 

and stay awake through summer like we own the heat 

Singing "everybody wake up (wake up) it's time to get down" 

(everybody, everybody wake up its time to get down) 

And when I pass the bottle back to Pete 

on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh 



I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open) 

So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned) 

And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)

cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)

And we'll never have to listen (new haircut) 

to anyone about anything (new bracelet) 

cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner) 

we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get



The hell out of this town 

Find some conversation 

The low fuel lights been on for days 

It doesn't mean anything 

I've got another 500, 'nother 500 miles 

before we shut this engine down, 

we shut it down 



I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open) 

So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned) 

And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)

cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)

And we'll never have to listen (new haircut) 

to anyone about anything (new bracelet) 

cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner) 

we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever) 



(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love) 

Eighteen forever (first kisses)

(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation) 

So we can stay like this forever (new stitches)

(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed) 

And we'll never miss a party (collar weekend)

(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over) 

cause we keep them going constantly (appearance ticket)

(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love) 

And we'll never have to listen (November to...)

(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation) 

to anyone about anything cause it's all been done (...remember)

(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed) 

and it's all been said (nightswimmers)

(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over) 

we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get 



Just jealous cause we're young and in love 

You're just jealous cause we're young and in love 

You're just jealous cause we're young and in love 

You're just jealous cause we're young and in love 

You're just jealous cause we're young and in love 

You're just jealous... [turntable scratch]
