• Here to talk about Joey
• Had his picture on my wall, my one and only
• It started at school, me pressed up against the bricks
• In the summer out back, in the sticks
• The city screamed to us from it’s canyons
• With its beats and passion and sins
• We scrawled our names on its walls
• An ancient city—
• we moaned our love down its halls
• We scratched our names in the sand
• And when we fought I scratched lines in his hand
• I saved all our memories in my scrapbook
• Empty pack of cigs, a ticket stub, all ready for one look
• That day it rained, he came round the same way
• The clouds crowning down, waiting for our play
• Oh, yeah and how we had loved minute to minute
• Never lookin up, not thinkin time would tip it
