Jackson Square
Boys cuss their chores in New Orleans
In quicksand-colored school rooms scream
For a taste of fruit that is forbidden
As soon as they break that gentle skin
They can't go home with a knowing grin
All you remember when
Someone asks you try hard to pretend
Ignore the telltale innocence
Cause you tried so hard to grow up fast
Time twists simple memories
Where your glasses fog and you cannot see
And dirty faced kids who hop the fence
Sell their angel wings second hand
Maybe one day I'll return
To Jackson Square again
Girls watch their parents acting dumb
Like test tube rats marching to the drum
And they promise never to be like that
But at graduation time they dream
For a set of Ludwigs and some Colby cheese
All you remember when
Someone asks you try hard to pretend
Ignore the telltale innocence
Cause you tried so hard to grow up fast
Time twists simple memories
Where your glasses fog and you cannot see
And dirty faced kids who hop the fence
Sell their angel wings second hand
Maybe one day I'll return
All you remember when
Someone asks you try hard to pretend
Ignore the telltale innocence
Cause you tried so hard to grow up fast
Time's just like this river queen
Make your glasses fog where you cannot see
And greasy head kid hops a chainlink fence
Cops on his ass with a stick in his hand
Maybe one day I'll return
To Jackson Square again
I'll return to Jackson Square
I'll return to Jackson Square
I'll return to Jackson Square
I'll return to Jackson Square
In quicksand-colored school rooms scream
For a taste of fruit that is forbidden
As soon as they break that gentle skin
They can't go home with a knowing grin
All you remember when
Someone asks you try hard to pretend
Ignore the telltale innocence
Cause you tried so hard to grow up fast
Time twists simple memories
Where your glasses fog and you cannot see
And dirty faced kids who hop the fence
Sell their angel wings second hand
Maybe one day I'll return
To Jackson Square again
Girls watch their parents acting dumb
Like test tube rats marching to the drum
And they promise never to be like that
But at graduation time they dream
For a set of Ludwigs and some Colby cheese
All you remember when
Someone asks you try hard to pretend
Ignore the telltale innocence
Cause you tried so hard to grow up fast
Time twists simple memories
Where your glasses fog and you cannot see
And dirty faced kids who hop the fence
Sell their angel wings second hand
Maybe one day I'll return
All you remember when
Someone asks you try hard to pretend
Ignore the telltale innocence
Cause you tried so hard to grow up fast
Time's just like this river queen
Make your glasses fog where you cannot see
And greasy head kid hops a chainlink fence
Cops on his ass with a stick in his hand
Maybe one day I'll return
To Jackson Square again
I'll return to Jackson Square
I'll return to Jackson Square
I'll return to Jackson Square
I'll return to Jackson Square
