When I was young I was left to fend for myself
A latchkey leaves the door open to almost anyone else
I met the brothers out behind Montgomery Mall
Launching long florescent tubes against the brick wall
Take me there, take me there, take me anywhere
Let me be by your side, in revolt
Let me wear your overcoat
We fluttered through jr. high like a cloud
Got grounded in 10th against a chain link fence
They were sent away to trade school in Somerset
I got left once again to fend for myself
Take me there, take me anywhere
Let me be by your side, don't say no
Let me wear your overcoat
She rose olympic from of the pool
The pinking shears in her hands bright like a dagger
I stood before her in nothing but my overcoat
Held out my sleeves, torn and tattered
Take me there, take me anywhere
Let me be by your side, don't say no
Just let me keep my overcoat
