In Retrospect: In The Park

March 2010; enjoying the first hints of lighter nights, while listening to all my old Ramones albums. I'm also starting to understand for the first time why Subterranean Jungle is such a great record.

All dressed up an' the sun sets low
When the big bright moon
Shines a friendly hello
When my heart pants
With lust like a Romeo
Like I am messed up
When the fireflies glow

I just wanna cuss and fight
I'm goin' out tonight
Everything is out of sight
It's gonna be all right

I'm gonna hang out in the park
Hang out after dark
I'm gonna be with the gang tonight

Under street lamps I will play
After the school day
When troubles disappear
I feel excitement is here

Kids in cars were cruisin' by
The big bright moon
Smiles in the sky
Music playin' that portable sound
Everybody's hangin' all around

I'm gonna hang out in the park
Hang out after dark
I'm gonna be with the gang tonight
