I Need a Haircut

Hey, wouldn't it be lovely

If we could set down our books

And sing to the sky

Like lunatics in the early dawn

 

I'm seventeen and I still can't talk

You forgot how to walk

And scraped your knee on the blacktop

 

I need a haircut;

Something simple that would leave it

Short on the sides and longer on the top

So I could style it back and realize my

Mirror-driven destiny

 

Hey, wouldn't it be great

If we could walk away and never look back

Like you knew how to walk

And I could still talk
