Take me to your house
And show me to all your family
I don t care about
The fool that it makes me seem
Cause I know that you re 17
And I m just an aging dandy
The world is light and dark
And we live in between
When I was a boy
I wandered the streets of downtown
Staring at the sky
And feeling that I didn t belong
In a world where the gentle seem wrong
And teeth get knocked out on Sundays
I lay down in the shower
And make it go away
This fading world
My lovely girl
And I know that you re 17
And I m just an aging dandy
The world is light and dark
And we live in between
When I was a boy
I wandered the streets of downtown
Staring at the sky
And feeling that I didn t belong
In a world where the gentle seem wrong
And teeth get knocked out on Sundays
I lay down in the shower
And make it go away
This fading world
My lovely girl
This fading world
My lovely girl
Cause I know that you re 17
And I m just an aging dandy
The world is light and dark
And we live in between
