"Baltimore" performed by Eliot Bronson

They were pullin’ our strings like a marionette
Taping radio songs onto blank cassettes
There wasn't much for a boy to do
In 1992

With our pockets full of what we could steal
Gettin’ everywhere on skateboard wheels
Trying to hang on to the way it feels
The only way we knew how to

In Baltimore tonight
I can see your shinin’ city light
I guess I thought I wanted more from life
Than you could give me

Yeah in Baltimore tonight
Nothing ever seems to work out right
I guess I never gave you a fair try
Can you forgive me

Well time flew by just like a dream
Preppy boys datin’ homecomin’ queens
I couldn't give a damn about the football team
I mean I was just passing through

And it's funny now how little's changed
Years gone by and miles away
Bossman's got the same look on his face
As the kid from my high school

In Baltimore tonight
I can see your shinin’ city light
I guess I thought I wanted more from life
Than you could give me

Yeah in Baltimore tonight
Nothing ever seems to work out right
I guess I never gave you a fair try
Can you forgive me

I wanna ride up Charles Street
Catching green lights all the way
And back down St. Paul
These days it’s all I can do to pray
In Baltimore tonight
I can see your shinin’ city light
I guess I thought I wanted more from life
Than you could give me

Yeah in Baltimore tonight
Nothing ever seems to work out right
I guess I never gave you a fair try
Can you forgive me
I guess I never gave you a fair try
Can you forgive me
