Teenage Eyes Lyrics by St. Lenox

Ten Songs of Worship and Praise for Our Tumultuous Times

0

(Dwight D. Eisenhower speech, “Three Imperatives
For World Peace”, 23 August 1956)
[Verse 1]
Bird calls in a far field
And other poetic expressions under
Damp stage lights, yeah
Cold Miller High Life, and bar tab tickets, hey
Here's a cruel joke on a Wednesday night
There's middle-aged Tom come here from
Flyover country, says he
Used to be in this one
Grunge rock band, yeah
Neighborhood dogs wrecked his
Dad's garage, hung postеrs at school
And on the utility poles, hey yеah
[Verse 2]
And then Tom ambles slowly to the microphone
With this slow hand impression of a Billy Joel song
Yeah Allentown was a good place back then
With its old memories and jean jacket tones
Tom writes songs about these west coast girls
Some cheesy Parkay lines and whimpers of love
Like he's stuck in a moment, stuck in a moment
Syrup confessions in a freeze frame stop
[Chorus]
Yeah don't forget, your teenage eyes!
I can't remember what it's like to see it shine like that
Hey don't forget, your teenage eyes
I don't remember what it's like to see it shine like that
[Verse 3]
And see I still recall when I was a teen, yeah
I wanted to be a writer back then
Turn the words over quick with a spitfire rhythm
Turn the world on its head with a turn of phrase
Yeah I still recall a stupid year back then
When I wanted to be a writer
Let the words pour out like I can't shut up
And stare at the page without a fear in sight
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Tom laments with a strange expression
Says he always wanted to be a rock star
He's got a Gibson guitar on the living room wall
That he plays for his son and daughter
And I remember that year when I still believed
That I could always be a writer
I had a fifty cent journal from the general store
And an off brand Fender in the bed at night
[Chorus]
