You were a hard faced kid
That was new on the block
And a lone life force
That nobody could stop
You had a mind of black and gold
And every shade in between
You were a paperback boy
With a slate so clean
So come on
So come on
You were my heart shaped queen
On your way to school
You were a paperback girl
Back before it was cool
You were a bird shot down
With your feathers all red
With your face turned up
And your arms outstretched
Now come on
Now come on
That was new on the block
And a lone life force
That nobody could stop
You had a mind of black and gold
And every shade in between
You were a paperback boy
With a slate so clean
So come on
So come on
You were my heart shaped queen
On your way to school
You were a paperback girl
Back before it was cool
You were a bird shot down
With your feathers all red
With your face turned up
And your arms outstretched
Now come on
Now come on
