Me and sterile darryl the a-man and nicko
Went down to watch the show
Down in san francisco
It got dark and lucy showed up
Oh why oh why oh why did I grow up
New year's eve well I couldn't believe
I watched you growing up
And caught you looking at me
Funny how it made you grit your teeth
Doing what we did the irony
Thanks for driving cuz I couldn't see
But I stayed up all night
I was watching the tv screen
Birthdays at the pizza and pipes
We paid the price for such a sheltered life

(chorus)
But I never lived never ever lived
No I never ever ever lived there
I never lived down in rio linda
Lucy said we could never go home
I never lived down in rio linda
Lucy said we could never ever go home

16 ounce cans we were in deep
Drove my brown champ down
I was just trying to keep it straight
Forgot the lines we made a pact
Drove all the way home
To the repo man sound track
Darryl's gone but that's how it goes
I heard he lost the truth right up his nose
Lucy gone but I'm all right
We paid the price for such a sheltered life


(chorus)
