Rancid - BLACK DERBY JACKET
INTRO
(x4)
VERSE (PM):
books of Emerson books of Thoreau
But all I read was maps of the road
I was 3,000 miles away from you and
All the while I was 22
What do you do to know who you are
The best way for me was to drop out on tour
You went to upstate New York to go to school
To secure your roll with your parents
CHORUS
But I got a new perspective of you
All the good and bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you
Because I got a new perspective of you
VERSE
I never needed much I never liked to loom
But a gesture can get me from across the room
The first night we talked while the sun caught up
Transparent people melting around us
You left on a plane I left in a van
Played nightclubs house parties and auditoriums
Saw Germany and Englany with my band
I know you better girl than your new friends
CHORUS
But I got a new perspective of you
All the good and bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you
Because I got a new perspective of you
(x4)
VERSE
Ford Econoline sept 93
Driving 10 hours till my eyes get blurry
3 packs of Winstons and a bag of seeds
Tapes of "X" and a thermos of coffee
6 weeks on and 10 days off
Then back on the road for another show
This is all I've ever done
girl I'vve got nothing else to fall back on
CHORUS (w/o guitars until last line):
But I got a new perspective of you
All the good and bad that we went through
I know you better than you know you
Because I got a new perspective of you
