Parking Fine

I met you at the frosted fun
Watchin those counters trip everyone
And we boxed up all our bad ideas
Like the one where you thought of me as
A freshly painted city sign
That spells out all those parking fines
In the damp and shiny pavement path
Where drifters escape the weather’s wrath
And the starry freckled parchment face
The urban cell phone transit pace
Ch
In this world of powerful distractions
We lose our place and our traction
Remember the time we met
Down in the smoky oubliette
And the whiskey and sarcasm
Ignited and lit up the chasm
To serve your pleasure center
Obey your childhood mentor
The accidental redial suggests that we’ll be here awhile
And the taxi driver waits outside
The incorrigible just missed a ride
And he’ll linger long past last call
A night spent alone after all
Rpt chorus

You’re a construction site
Boarded up locked up tight
And you're a man-hole lid
Your dark secret’s hid
Chorus:
I can't keep my eyes off you since
You became
An attractive nui-sance
I like the way you’re built
The way your scaffold tilts
Behind a chain link fence
A structure that i can't condemn
But I can't keep my eyes off you since
You became
An attractive nui-sance
Inspector says you’re barely up to code
Barricades and yellow tape decorate your road
I like the way you’re built
The way your scaffold tilts
But you're a man-hole lid
Your dark secret’s hid
and I can't keep my eyes off you since
You became
An attractive nui-sance
