I say, here stand I I can't do otherwise But is it enough? And why'd you look so tough? Back at Patrick Park We stood in the dark In my beer-stained mind I said "please won't you be mine?" There's something dark hangin' over my head I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath There's something dark hangin' over my head I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath On the high school lot You'd kiss me so long But lessons don't last When I'm playing you so fast There's something dark hangin' over my head I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath There's something dark hangin' over my head I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath Punch and first collapse Drunk at winter dance Looks in red dress Oh, what an awful mess There's something dark hangin' over my head I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath There's something dark hangin' over my head I'm seventeen, don't hold your breath
