The New Nathan Detroits Lyrics


nineteen ninety eight looked great on

plain white paper on the fiftieth plane to
champaign

but to tell you the truth

if i had a chance to kill it

i'd pick it up and take it and shake it and

kiss it to death

there's something inside like a conscience

that says you're painting floors while

your pals are renaming the stars

get up get up and go do what you started

if you want to be a martyr, try harder

go my son have you grown?

go make a home

and put the kids in their beds

and i will talk about this year

if there was something to talk about

and you sell and you sell with your heart

so you can make a few bucks and lose a few
friends

and this is the stuff that makes you

and it will be the same that breaks you

move on get on with your life

it's pointless to play if you don't get paid

why not go my son have you grown?

go make a home

and put the kids in their beds

the kid's in our heads

we've got a lot of great mistakes to make

we've got a lot of chances to take

so let's take our time and hurry

go my son has come home

i said no and made my own

and put the kids in their beds

the kid's in our heads

we've got a lot of people to fear this year

so addy if you want to be near

sing will to the wind and worry

oh addy do i love you

but god such things i have to do

addy do i want to hear you

but i just can't get through

addy do i miss you

these dreams i sing when i

kiss you

oh addy do i love you

but got such things i have to do

ady do i want to hold you

but anyone may do

addy do i miss you

these dreams i sing when i'm
