Flashback, 1984:
Tripping headfirst in a tornado of legs
All air had a fresh decay of blue skies
Suburban perfume--
Every Friday, we'd gather 'round
Our old stereo with disco lights
Feed the need to love 45 and sing for our invisible audience
Capri Sun and plastic guns
Welcome to our oblivion
Hanging out, and having fun-
We were always down
Always will be down
We were always down staring at the sunset
Flashback, 1991:
When Seattle went #1
I can't recall much of anything
But I remember the flannel well
Young and bored at a
Grade school dance;
Introversion, my only chance
Folks in my town would have thrown a fit
If they knew what went on in my head
Fast-forward to here and now
Still dumb, still kicking
Forever proud and winning
Until d**h sings my final song
Capri Sun and plastic guns
Welcome to our oblivion
Hanging out having fun
We were always down
Always will be down
We were always down staring at the sunset
