I took a walk, it was summer time
I was headed west past the canal

Let me stop and clarify:
It was 17 years ago

There were 3 of us in combat boots
We missed the bus so while we wait:
Straight down montauk highway
4 towns away

We were on a mission to get some records
Get some music, get some zines!
The people in the store were older
Bbut i could tell they were onto something

And now I spent half my life just chasing that excitement of hearing something new
These days, even though I'm older, I'll never forget that feeling, and to that I'm staying true

Through the stacks there were so many
Had to make a choice which one to pick
I had to be real sure
I only had 5 bucks!

That one, on the cover people goin' crazy
"Trust us, that's the way it is."
It was second hand, didn't have an insert
When I got home late, my dad fliped the f___ out!
But it didn't matter, when it hit the turn-table it was over.

And now I spent half my life just chasing that excitement of hearing something new
These days, even though I'm older, I'll never forget that feeling, and to that I'm staying true

Never had an idea that it'd end up like this
Half my life tryin' to stay out of step
I've seen the country, made a s___load of friends
Most of them gone, only a few of them left
And I'm feeling like a relec, but this life's getting hectec
I get back and I hold that record in my hand
I remember the kid on the verge of a breakthrough,
Breaking out, on a mission
For the rest of his life
Break out

[You know that ringing in your ears?
That "eeeeeee"?
That's the sound of the ear cells dying, like their swan song.
Enjoy it while it lasts.]
