Telephone Pole

(album: Thrilled - 2015)

Saw you in the smoky basement
Looming in the crowd
Snapped a picture of the party
With you in the background

Saw you in the smoky basement
Walking up the stairs
I was stuck in conversation
About polluted air

By the time I climbed the steps you
Were nowhere to be found
So I ran out on the front lawn
Saw your taillights fading out
So I questioned all the guests
Overtop of Kanye West
I had to know just who you were

I put your picture on a telephone pole
If you have any information please call

You walked in the smoky basement
And didn't know a soul
You had just moved to Chicago
You weren't used to the cold

You met him at the drive-in
To see Can't Buy Me Love
You were feeling kinda tired
He was trying to wake you up

Yeah you didn't wanna go
But you'd been feeling so alone
And he whispered "come back here"
Overtop of Tears For Fears
And he seemed an alright guy
But there was something in his eye
Now it's too late
