CTwo under-age kids were fFound beneath the stage
There was a pAmretty nasty figGht
FWhen we started out we foCught all the time
DuGmb and afraid, and out of our minds

But we got up and pClayed, we got up and sAmang
We plugged in our guFitars, we tried to make it rGain
We got up and pClayed

I was thiCnking of youF, thought I might gAmive you a callG  
I went oCut for a walk, seaFrching in vain
For some Amlife beyond these wGalls
Oh the eucFalyptus trees were Call standing bare
Yeah, CGleveland’s kind of sad this time of year
