Me and all the from the neighbourhood play out in the street all summer long Rule was we had to go at night When the lights came on
We were oblivious to the of the world And we'd hold up the in the street Yeah, we'd always boys against girls And sides would cheat

I'd say,"Here we go again! Yeah, ok this you win" And I would feel dirty, I'd feel But I let it stop my game
We would play 'hide and go Territory would be the block Sometimes the older boys when they'd you wouldn't want to tag you, they'd just want to talk
They'd say "What you do for a quarter? Come on, we don't have much time" And I'd think a and I'd say "Ok, give me the first, fine"

I remember my trip alone on the Greyhound bus A man who put his hands on me as as night fell And I when I was leavin' how excited I was And I when I arrived, I didn't feel so well
I remember the teacher at school got me so and scared I into the bathroom and threw up in my hair And I go on, but you know, it just gets worse And I probably stop there
