The Spinkler

Looking out my window, I see some old friends riding down the street
On the bikes we used to ghostride on the playground
But I broke my bike last fall, and my parents were appalled
At my lack of respect for personal property

Sitting in the basement eating peanut butter Captain Crunch
Watching "Flipper" and building models
But that stuff wears out faster than my All-Stars
Lock myself in my bedroom and play with my Hot Wheels cars

Laying in the backyard playing like a rockstar, wish that I could forget
Running through the sprinkler until I'm soaking wet

I'll forget whatever happened to me and all my white-trash friends
They got sick of me, or I grew out of them
But they must have felt betrayed when I stopped seeing things their way
Lost all interest in the stupid plans we made

But I can still see 'em skating down the steepest hills
We were all fearless, and our parents feared the doctor's bills
Just having fun was our excuse, just being cool was the truth
Don't try to stop us, 'cause it ain't no use

Laying in the backyard, playing like a rockstar, wish that I could forget
Running through the sprinkler until I'm soaking wet

Laying in the backyard, playing like a rockstar, wish that I could forget
Running through the sprinkler until I'm soaking wet

I'll forget
What you said
But not yet
