Description: "I've never found a community like this," she said. There were a few punks smoking outside, there leather jackets pulled tight against the drizzling rain.

"I've never found a community like this," she said. There were a few punks smoking outside, there leather jackets pulled tight against the drizzling rain. Fog climbed from the asphalt, and for a moment the clouds broke, the moon bright over Asheville, "when that guy showed up with a pistol, we were ready for him."

lyrics

It was supposed to be a party on that Saturday,
but it was just the lot of us, caught in the rain,
at the body shop, while French Broad raged,
and turning on the generator, seemed unsafe,
We were looking for a place for the grind bands to play, and you rolled a joint from a bible page, we moved the whole thing out to static age //

We wanted to give one hell of a send off,
hot and wet, you took off your top.
sweat on your breasts as you crowd surfed and moshed, as the feedback fed every ear on the block //

You'll be leaving for Pittsburgh soon,
as a matter of fact, I'm leaving too,
so push me all across the room, and then I'll turn and push you too,

Outside, in the sidewalk steam,
the leather girls and the butcher queens
talk about their better dreams, their jackets shining sharp and clean-

I'll be heading home tonight,
I'll make my way down twenty five
I've got bags to pack, a ways to drive,
Do you remember the first-

An after party basement show,
The amps turned up, the lights real low,
thought our ears would ring til the world ends ,

The first thing I clearly heard, you said,
to quote it from the top of my head,

No one ever gets to tell us how to fall in love again
