David And Marie Lyrics
[Verse One]
David grew up too quick
Ordinary people made him sick
Still, he wanted to get laid
By the ladies at the basketball game
So his brain became a carter pulling two weights
He couldn't make it shut up
At night at the back of the club
Dreaming of falling in love
Thinking of buying a gun, oh yeah
[Bridge]
David and Marie
[Verse Two]
Marie dressed up too quickly
Too many friends and too many piercings
The holes just wouldn't stay closed
So she wrote poems in a notebook at home
But the lines were bad and she knew it
She outgrew it and tried to grow up
At night at the back of the club
Wondering who she was
Wondering who she'd become, oh yeah
[Bridge]
David and Marie
[Verse Three]
And if this was a story, they'd meet
And since it is, they do
By the back of the bar where eight
Dark arched speakers hum anthems for the innocent
Doom, boom, thud, boh
A song without a tune
Leads David back to her room
Where they kiss wide-eyed by some flickering light
That looks nothing like the moon
Well, if love is a force that spills from Coca-Cola bottles

And runs down a young girl's shoes
Love is a lion with no eyes that struggles at night
Just to call you and tell you the truth
The sky is a bulimic, always throwing up the sun
David and Marie woke up
But they never come undone
David grew up too quick
Ordinary people made him sick
Marie just followed too slow
Movies still made her feel hopeful
David and Marie got married
David and Marie broke up
At night, back at the club
Thinking they'd gone too far
And knowing they hadn't gone far enough
