lyrics

"Broad Ripple Ducks" (M. Loewenstein)

Ain’t it a shame how thin we used to be in High School
Those photographs have us grabbing at our gut
But get your belly full when night falls on Indiana
And turns fine young scholars into drunken sluts

The two of us are just Broad Ripple Ducks
Side by side we float along the green canal and
People walking by will laugh at all that we enjoy
But we will pay no mind because we don’t speak their language

I’m playing tennis with my pride against you
Losing the match is an arbitrary fear
Like superstition and the evening news
Because I know I belong with you
And I had no other choice but to love you like I do
I said find another boy, your persistence only grew… yeah its true
And I need you by my side, but only when you’re not near
And it takes a couple drinks for me to see it clear that I need you
