lyrics

Couple of kids at the Ramada Inn
Waiting for the lights to dim
Looking for something gonna suck them in
Or at least will pass the time
How are those kids supposed to know
This might be their last picture show?
They got ninety minutes till the credits roll
To remember every line


Do you love me? I need to know for sure
‘Cuz I'm dying out here waiting for the cure
Do you love me? I thought I'd know by now
It's been way too quiet
Since the circus left town

Couple of kids out by the loading dock
Huffing rainbows through a sock
Thinking that they might try to pick the lock
That keeps this city shut
How were those kids supposed to know
When the door swings open and they're free to go
They'll be stuck outside with a cold wind blowing
And a rumbling in their guts?

Do you love me? I need to know for sure
‘Cuz I'm dying out here waiting for the cure
Do you love me? Do you remember my name?
Since the circus left town
Things just aren't the same

Two kids parked in a dead end lane
Heater blowing, radio playing
Telling each other nothing's gonna change
One of them's telling the truth
How were those kids supposed to guess
That this would be their last caress?
And they’d be thinking bout that moment till their very last breath
Singing those parked car blues

Do you love me? I need to know for sure
Cuz I'm dying out here waiting for the cure
Do you love me? Do you remember my face?
Since the circus left town
Nothing's been replaced

Guitarist Andy Sullivan, bassist Cal Everett and drummer John Kelly share a love of obscure 1970s power pop and have played shows across the Washington, D.C. region, winning the occasional battle of the bands and jamming with heroes like Paul Collins. ... more
