lyrics

I was straight you were gay
Didn’t matter either way
Cohorts from a misfit crew
Back in 1982

Dark hair tall fast and lean
From city streets hard and mean
Turning tricks nothing’s free
Back in 1983

Did it for the thrill and buzz
You did for the money
What creates also destroys
And boys will be boys

In high school kids made fun
‘bout what our friendship had become
We’d fight them to the floor
Back in 1984

Best of friends was all we were
Damn the dumb and narrow
Inside the world of adolescent noise
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys

Thin as air brittle bones
Conversations telephones
hospitals.and bare trees
Might have beens and use to be’s
For a while you held on
One day your mother told me
you were gone

Best of friends nothing more
Damn the dumb and narrow
Inside a world of adolescent noise
Was he a she a him or her
Love’s a broken arrow
What creates also destroys
Boys will be boys
Boys will be boys
