Our Days In Kansas

Intro (x2) Introduction Did you mean what you said when you told me you missed us Without reservation, without plans for Christmas First part was right, the rest wasn't true The same goes for me and the same goes for you Packed my things for the month but it's not necessary I told you I'd stay but it's just temporary Like swastika girls who fell back on their looks We relied on the tricks and the recycled hooks Did you want a response or just someone to edit? It's not what you said, it's the way that you said it The longshoreman's daughter, when they spelled her name Found three chords of brilliance and rode them to fame, all alone verse 1 Pep up the formula tonight You're not obliged to do us favors Disenchanted hearts unite When you and I were candy ravers Krushchev's Ekranoplan had failed Those weeks in August never seem fair Our love is left to sink or sail You cut the summer blonde from your hair A little time is all I need A disco bloodbath for the ages The patience left to let it bleed And a quill to fill the pages Side streets set ablaze And all roads lead to maybe Sometimes I think about those days Sometimes I wish we'd kept the baby I don't know how things could have changed At the latest verse 2 Our days in Kansas wouldn't last I never learned the KU fight song Exchanging poisons from the past I hadn't heard from you in so long And if the moonlight kills the flame With all the moments we were meant to You know I'll tell the world your name I couldn't let the world forget you Outro Things were so much easier back in 1993 I loved you for the first time on that day
