lyrics

They grew up on opposite sides of the road
They were both genius
Cause they knew stuff
People didn’t tell them
Wearing each other’s clothes
Cause high school sucks
They would move on
And up

They sat on opposite sides of the room from the tools at lunch
They would create
Where people wouldn’t tell them
And on big campus days
They blabbered all
The dreams they had
The cities that would fall

They were atypical in certain ways from country kids
They spoke different words
They took acid trips
Better got taken by the less savant
Who was Praising the polish of a modern hallway
Blazing with nothing in a bathroom stall
Couple of geniuses had lost it all

They won all the awards at early art shows
But the middle state held them
They needed to go
On the road to angel cities In a beat hatchback
They could always go back
But they would never want that
Part time jobs became long run plans
Settled into the familiar check in hand
But Party life’s tough
When you cant afford drugs

Born the wrong way
Never had too much to say

Born out the wrong hole
Never had nowhere to go
