lyrics

So where were you the first time you heard this song?
Was it on your way to graduation?
Were you roaming the mall or escorted to the ball
with your with your friends from the next generation?

Were you having sex in a car, or hanging at the local bar,
dancing with your favorite perfect stranger?
Were you living large watching Charles in Charge?
But are you ready for every situation?

I spent two days climbing out of the hole,
just to get to the top with nowhere to go...
When I look back down, I see a familiar face,
I guess it wasn’t that bad, at least I had a place.

So where were you the last time you heard this song?
Were you waiting at a plane or train station?
Were you riding a bus, full of beer smell and lust,
that goes from campus to Johnny’s Last Vacation?
Dancing all night at the wedding in white,
before your honeymoon reservation.
Were you dressed down at the concert in town,
waiting for the band’s invitation?

One of these days... it’s one of those days...

One of these, one of those,
sink or swim, will I win?
Tell the truth, tell a lie,
wishing now that I could fly...
Run ahead, fall behind,
sleep is fine, rise and shine,
Should I stay, should I go?
Let me follow Dorothy home.
