The Vanishing

Shave my head in the mirror
Mommy's little terror
Denim leather out in the night
Meet the crew on a Friday
Crawl home on Sunday
What happened? Where did you go?

Packed in the pontiac acadian
It's just bodies and music
Ducking down when the lights of the squad car drives by
Hanging out by the river
No direction, no future
It meant the world to me
Just to waste time

So say goodbye
Don't look behind
When it's out of sight
It's out of mind
Then I think you'll find
You'll vanish in time

The high level at midnight
Hear the currents of the water below
It's the warm summer nights that make us let go

Didn't keep in touch
Didn't make the time
When there's no ill will
Dramatic crime
What once was mine
You'll vanish in time

No search lights on
No safety line
The party's gone
It blew your mind
What meant so much
Will vanish in time

It's a different game these days
I work Monday to Friday
The nation owes me a living
And i'm tired of watching time waste away
I'm tired of watching the time
Watching time waste away
Tired of watching the time
We all vanish in time

We all vanish in time
We all vanish in time
We all vanish in time
Oh!
We all vanish in time
