Parked On a Hill

Alone in a big old borrowed car
Stopped on a hill in Schenley Park
Pittsburgh, 1986
I rolled the windows up
And I screamed, I screamed
Waiting for courage to descend
And I need it now again

I won't let this chance go by
I won't let this chance go by
I'd really rather die
We can be happy again
We can be happy again
We can be happy again

One more day like today
Won't kill us
One more day like today
Is okay


Alone in our old battered car
Parked on a hill in the dark
It doesn't matter when or where
The defroster doesn't work
And I dream, I dream
It's one way to pass the endless time
But I won't waste yours and mine

I won't let this chance go by
I won't let this chance go by
I'd really rather die
We can be happy again
We can be happy again
We can be happy again
