takes guts to try a cig,
he was 15 and barely older than me,
billabong, purple, quiksilver,
none too cool but not nerd either

walks past me sits on my right
flips out cigarrette gets it light,
prob' too short so he sits up. yea,

ppl walk past and stare at him
fifteen and a cigarette aint ordinary looking, looking
in his eyes there's nothing in.

the car comes and stops
his mom dares not pull up infront of other ppl so he walks
flicks wasted cigarette away he looks at me and boards

his mom she looks ashamed
her son he looks ashamed
both look at me in RI uniform
and the car moves off the platform
