Lyrics
She took the car
Oh the tragedy of sleeping in 'til noon
The pure calamity of nothing left to do
Oh the drama of phoning all her friends
The shame of the wealth and young adult weekends.
She took the car , 'cos her daddy ain't home
Pickin' up Joe and headin for the coast
She acts the part and her daddy don't know
Pickin' up Joe and getting' wasted on the coast.
And they know that it can never last
Childhood's fading now, it's fading so fast
The world keeps closing in
The shame of the wealth and young adult weekends.
She took the car , 'cos her daddy ain't home
Pickin' up Joe and headin for the coast
She acts the part and her daddy don't know
Pickin' up Joe and getting' wasted on the coast.
Somehow it don't feel real
When you're caught up in between
And they know that it can never last
Childhood's fading now, it's fading so fast
The world keeps closing in
The shame of the wealth and young adult weekends.
