Flashback

i saw you on the street
with the last of your old class
the athlete and the loser
the future and the past
whichever way traffic's moving
the other way, you better run
you're bound to be surrounded
i'll take you all the way
out of your yesterday
you were somebody else.
all the time you spent talkin' us down
we got over ourselves
like everyone else
you come runnin' out of a flashback
fast forward
looking for clues
you come runnin' out of your flashback
back door with something to prove.
the actress with the shiny mouth
bows to catch the light
fall from stage to floor
illuminate elastic smiles
room-rules are easy answers
kissed with a fork tongue
still can't get arrested
she knows everyone.
she comes runnin' out of your flashback
back door
looking for clues
she comes runnin' out of your flashback
fast forward with something to prove.
are you still living for high school
are you still living for high school
still living for high school
are you still living for high school
i saw you on the street
with the last of your old class
