lyrics

Three days of in-school suspension,
We were idiot twins to the core,
And the same local shrink wrote us matching prescriptions
For drugs they don’t give kids no more.

Street Fighter II with volume turned down,
Op Ivy on my stereo,
Dashboard change spent on Waffle House coffee,
And then an hour spent drinking it slow.

Menthols and kickball behind Village Square
As soon as we clocked out of work,
I’d crash at your place or you’d crash at mine,
Depending on whose situation was worse.

Meteor shower at Lake Wylie dam,
Tweaking on gas station speed,
Street lights flicker when we walk underneath,
You say it’s a sign - we’re both jinxed,
Maybe you're right.

We fell out our first year of college,
You didn’t make it too far,
Fucked up on the rooftop of Wofford one night,
You dropped a brick on a Winthrop cop car.

The next year I got a letter
From an E3 Private First Class,
“Hey man don’t get stuck in Rock Hill,
I’m broke - could you wire me some cash?”

A wrecked motorbike in Hawaii,
That’s really all we were told,
Doomed to expire in a shitball of fire,
My idiot twin wasn’t meant to be old.
3-volley salute and a flag getting rolled.

Power chords on a shit Takamine,
You gotta scream it before you can sing,
Street lights flicker when we walk underneath,
You say it’s a sign - we’re both jinxed,
Maybe you're right.

There’s only one photo, we both look like props,
Grinning in our caps and gowns,
And your torn up Fiero parked in the driveway,
And the satellite dish in my old man’s backyard
Might as well have been aimed at the ground.
