Grand Exploits

from You by Paris Street

/

lyrics

Somehow our mellowest time
Was when you were coked up and I was sleep deprived
And we held off on getting on
Til we finished a ‘Mindfreak’ marathon

What little energy I had left
Was put to good use when we went to bed
Eventually, I passed out, then
You woke me up so we could go again

We were the secret-est of secrets
As different as different gets
No one that we knew
Ever had a single clue
And that made things feel even better yet

One time in my garage
Far from anybody else because
For reasons I still can’t explain
You liked yelling out my roommate’s name

You were bouncing off the walls
At the Vietnamese billiard hall
I eased your mind, I changed your mood
Til we were kicked out of the women’s room

We were the secret-est of secrets
As different as different gets
Virtually guaranteed
To crash and burn eventually
Til then, though, we made the most of it

Never any strings
Never in the day
Never anything
That carried any weight
Never any love
Never any laughs
Never less than fun
But never more than that




We were the secret-est of secrets
And as different as different gets
Everyone we knew
Never cared ‘bout me and you
They tsk-tsked and ‘why, I nevered’
As if they knew any better

So the secrets were unneeded
But the differences were seeded
Much too deeply to keep holding them at bay

Cuz in the harsh light of the morning
There was a mutual disjoining
And no interest once the fun had worn away

And all that became irrelevant
Because predictably we went
Our separate ways then soon after lost touch

But you still enter my mind sometimes
Our grand exploits return when I
Need a good memory to pick me up
But it’s often not enough
