... we all knew it would
happen eventually!

name and theme taken
from the song "What
I'm Trying To Say" by
Stars

---

You look so good in the clothes of a poser
And when you smiled, all the kids fell apart here
I know a place where it's warm and it's dry, dear
Let me take you there
North of the river all the streets are the same
We can pretend that they don't know our name
And the heat is turned all the way
So don't pretend that you don't feel the pull

I am trying to say what I want to say
Without having to say I love you

You look so good in the shoes of an outcast
I kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last
But then I knew you, I knew you, I knew you,
I really knew you
We fell apart in the parties of the empty heart
We danced the junkie in the shadows of bad modern art
We clicked our heels and we wished we were home
One more tab
And your silk hits the chrome

I am trying to say what I want to say
Without having to say I love you

Spring comes in when I'm rolling up another one
I draw the curtains in the glare of the same old sun
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
Three blues, two greens, and a beer.
We are collapsed in the act of just being here
Three blues, two greens, and a beer.

I am trying to say what I want to say
Without having to say I love you

I am trying to say what I want to say
Without having to say I love you

(But it's impossible to say without having to say...)
