i totally forgot your first name
but i remembered your birthday
so i'm in the clear
we're buckling up our seatbelts
and wearing our helmets
insurance is what we need here

but i'm still afraid to read the morning papers
to see who we bombed, but i'm not gonna get into politics
not on my watch

someone come up the driveway
we need a front gate
to keep the strangers at bay
someone should come up to tell me
about this city
and the dangers involved

cause i can't sleep on the concrete
when the sirens are keeping me up
i won't stand for the sunrise
we need to keep the light from our eyes

but i'm still afraid to read the morning papers
to see who we bombed, but i'm not gonna get into politics
