we were never caught

    we partied the southwest， smoked it from L.A. to El Dorado

    worked odd jobs between delusions of escape

    drunk on the admonitions of parents， parsons & professors

    driving faster than the road or law allowed.

    our high-pitched laughter was young， heartless & disrespected

    authority. we could be heard for miles in the night

    the Grand Canyon of a new manhood.

    womanhood discovered

    like the first sighting of Mount Wilson

    we rebelled against the southwestern wind

    we got so naturally ripped， we sprouted wings，

    crashed parties on the moon， and howled at the earth

    we lived off love. It was all we had to eat

    when you split you took all the wisdom

    and left me the worry
