"From The East" lyrics

You play guitar and
I play the drums
You think it's charming
When we get drunk

'Cause you said something
But I like that
And I said something
But I took it back

Our home town is not big enough
No, it could never hold the both of us
You know things your girlfriends taught
Well, hold that thought, baby
Hold that thought

She walks around like
She's in heat
She makes it sound like
She's in heat
She's breaking curfew
Just for me
So I know better
Than to try to speak

When she's going home
When the streetlights glow
And the moon is full
And her mother knows
'Cause she done the same
When she was her age
So she don't complain
When she acts that way

I bob and weave just like a boxer
Avoiding heartbreak from the East
I've never been much of a talker
Avoiding heartbreak from the East
I get the feeling that I lost her
Avoiding heartbreak from the East

Happy hunting
She's such a gem
Cranberry somethings
She had a lot of them
And boarding schools
Have got the best cocaine
And I'm warning you
You're gonna be okay

Til she's going home with another guy
'Cause its Murphy's law and it's a matter of time
She gonna grip the sheets before she screams his name
He's gonna burn his hands on my former flame

I bob and weave just like a boxer
Avoiding heartbreak from the east
I've never been much of a talker
Avoiding heartbreak from the east
I get the feeling that I lost her
Avoiding heartbreak from the east
Avoiding heartbreak, at least

Then call me up when you're weak
