Just Visiting [Lyrical]

[Verse 1]
I've got headaches and split ends
You've got heartbreak; we all just need to make ammends
We've got some stupid fucking problems
But a half a gallon of ice cream can almost solve them

[Pre-chorus]
We've got fourteen dollars and a bottle of pop
Won't get us too far, maybe the Lansdale trainstop
We're looking like one hell of a joke; we're trying every door
But it's okay, 'cause we're just tourists in the eye of the storm

[Chorus 1]
Remember that old A.M. DJ
And casting shadows on the silver screen?
Remember dancing at sunrise on the freeway
And photographing the RAKC scene?
We ran up South Street crying, "Freedom"
And blasting songs by the Kills and Britney Spears
We'll be the ladies starting riots
And wreaking havok at our nursing home in years
And you know that I'll always be there
And I know that you'll always break my fall
Pinky friggen swear

[Verse 2]
So we've got our flaws, but we've got each other
We broke no laws, we just stretched some others
We've got all we need and we need all we can get
And we swore on this, we swore on it
So let's get ready and get set

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus 2]
Remember running from the cops by the thrift store
And mailing packages addressed to ourselves?
Remember getting discharged with a tied score
Of who could fit more supplement on the shelves?
We'd always get caught, get put on SIP
We'd always cry when we just felt all too alive
When we got vitals, you always told me
We'd soon be free for the rest of our lives
And you know that I'll always be there
And I know that you'll always break my fall

[Bridge]
(Instrumental), (Oh, Oh)

[Chorus 3]
Remember bowling with the senior citizens' team
And baking cupcakes for Bonehead's birthday?
Remember hitting up the Wawa with the brah-heims
And trying to reflect every cliche?
They caught us laughing, they caught us crying
They caught us singing all the words we couldn't speak
We said, "It's nothing", but we were lying
They didn't realize that HC wouldn't last just a week

And that's okay, 'cause we're just tourists in the eye of the storm
We'll be alright, 'cause we're just passing through the eyes of the storm
