Nathan Asher And The Infantry - No More Colleges lyrics

You sit in the back as the Audience claps Waiting for the seats to Fill in Up in the bleachers The teachers are watching The chorus is starting To sing As I step up to get My degree From the stage I can Almost see Out past the road Where the lights Shine low Down into the valley below Chin up boy when your Choices become your demands You'll see what I mean and I Mean that you'll be who I am All these Colleges, these graduations They don't show who we are Let's empty out these museums And make exhibits from our hearts Can I buy myself a little more time Before I have to start? As the stadium clears out We drift apart I took a walk Through Cameron park The sky grew dark It felt heavy like a storm Down the highway Down the tracks Down to road To pain, oh glory I followed you The sun in my back Through children's rhymes And nursery stories Oh My Marie To be back behind the Gym at seventeen No more birthdays IDs No more stories We learn to believe No "chance meeting"s Just reunions I'll see you at line In a funeral No more Colleges Graduations We know Who we are Let's empty out These museums And make exhibits From our hearts When the heat came down And the stars came out I was left on the ground In this town And the heat, back breaking heat on the ground (x2) And the heat, back breaking heat Ahhhhh, Ahhhhh C'mon! Emptied out rooms Heart breaking toons Summer comes soon Summer comes soon Emptied out rooms Heart breaking Summer comes soon Oh, summer comes soon No more Colleges Graduations We know who we are (x2)
