Telephone Pole - Punchline

Saw you in the smoky basement

Looming in the crowd

Snapped a picture of the party

With you in the background

Saw you in the smoky basement

Walking up the stairs

I was stuck in conversation

About polluted air

By the time I climbed the steps you

Were nowhere to be found

So I ran out on the front lawn

Saw your taillights fading out

So I questioned all the guests

Overtop of Kanye West

I had to know just who you were

I put your picture on a telephone pole

If you have any information please call

You walked in the smoky basement

And didn’t know a soul

You had just moved to Chicago

You weren’t used to the cold

You met him at the drive-in

To see Can’t Buy Me Love

You were feeling kinda tired

He was trying to wake you up

Yeah you didn’t wanna go

But you’d been feeling so alone

And he whispered «come back here»

Overtop of Tears For Fears

And he seemed an alright guy

But there was something in his eye

Now it’s too late
