lyrics

I knew a guy when I was seventeen
He played electric guitar in the basement scene
Lived with his mom and sold LSD
He was a teenage dream
Checker strap on a red jaguar
His pedal board, his whammy bar
Late night driving in his car
He used to scream

And the song would flow out the window
And his voice would rise and soar
His throat got closed
And he don’t sing no more

Sometimes you ride the road
Sometimes you go up in smoke
Midnight lines, a nose of coke
Some people just numb out
One last time I saw his face
A burnt out light in a jewelry case
And I thought back to the basement days
And I was bummed out

And he took his car to the woods
And he parked it at a dead end
He walked off and no one ever saw him again

Booze and weed, and xany dreams
Mushrooms and amphetamines
They’re all glossy like the pages in magazines

And he took his car
And parked it in the woods
Left it at a dead end
He walked off and no one ever saw him again

He was a teenage dream
He was a teenage dream
He was a teenage dream
Teenage dream
Alright
