Down by the lake we were overturning pebbles And depending all the animals alive And I took a drag from your cigarette And I pinched it 'tween my finger and my thumb, to let it dive And the sun burned low, on the radio Say that you will, say you will, or will you or won't Or you whatever you prevaricate, you whole life don't you And this much I can say, would have waited till the oceans Fell away and all the sunken cities would reveal themselves to you But you won't, will you, because you never do And the sun burned through, sweet as honey dew And I, seventeen and terminally vague I wrote it down and threw it all away Never gave a thought to what I made And you sibylline, reclining in your cube You tattered me, you tethered me to you The things you would, the things you wouldn't do To tell the truth, I never had a clue Now we arise, the curse is young suburban villains In their ill begotten children from the lawn Come to me now, and on the station wagon window Set the ghost of your two footprints And they might haunt me when you're gone And when the light grows dark, you were forever gone But I remember you, you would fall Well you were full and sweet as honey dew And I, seventeen and terminally vague Well I wrote it down and threw it all away Never gave a thought to what I made And you, oh sibylline, reclining in your cube You tattered me, you tethered me to you The things you would, the things you wouldn't do You noticed how I never had a clue Never had a clue You're full and sweet as honey dew You're full and sweet as honey dew
