trust me. just go with me on this one. the song is really great, i promise. and the lyrics make much more sense with the bending acoustic guitar strings and the steady rhythm and just the way it’s sung. i mean… well, just read it and listen to this little snip of an mp3.
ive got a sister with an open mind
and my friends are all junkies
but they’re still my friends,
as long as they dont use monkeys,
we enjoy the heat of stolen days in the summer of 93.
Well the future boy said, “ive got friends but you know sometimes
it all depends on how tall they are
against yourself.”
I’m still the future boy.
