Gather up your children
Tale of Alex Chilton
Remember days of paper cranes and dust
Sentimental for
One I never saw
That sanctified illusion died
Before we were born

And it's over
But it haunts you
When September girls still want you
You can't shake it
You can't leave it
And September girls still want you even now

Turning summer golden
Somewhere back in Boston
So take a seat, it's 1993
Drunk and teary eyed
Time is on my side
Oh, yes it is
Oh, yes it is, it's
Why I'm alive….

Cause it's over
And it haunts you
When September girls still want you
You can't shake it
You can't leave it
And September girls still want you even now

And the crowd was in line
When the taxi pulls up outside
Through the feedback and fuzz
From that old Vibrolux of mine
There were drinks at the bar
There was smoke in my starry eyes

And it's over
But it haunts you
When September girls still want you
You can't shake it
You can't leave it
And September girls still want you even now
