No More Reruns - Jerry Harrison

I’m watching TV a Saturday night

What do I see

But a middleweight boxing fight

A right spar here, a left hook there

Two in one combination

A standard fare

One fighter he tries the Ali shuffle

Guess I’ll change the channel

'Cause it’s just another scuffle

It reminds me of me and you

It reminds me of what we used to do

TV rerun watching James Dean

Red jacket on, he looks like Martin Sheen

I keep on thinking 'bout Natalie Wood

She sure was looking awfully good

That rebel may have looked so cool

Heart’s aflutter, but don’t be fooled

'Cause in the end he still lost his fight

Tough luck, sonny, life’s not nice

It reminds me of me and you

It reminds me of what we used to do

It reminds me of high school

Reminds me of five years of doing nothing

Reminds me of five years without loving

Yeah

I didn’t blame anyone

For what happened to me

Full responsibility, you see

If I came up, I went down

I was fooled and I fooled around

You are the one that I’m after

And you are the one, no disaster

And you are the one I desire

And you are the one that I require

Tonight, oh honey, tonight

That’s right, honey, tonight

No more reruns

Just a static on my channel

Test pattern light

Lights my room like a candle

A time between the days

Slips in like a vandal

If I blink or tire

I’ll miss life’s gamble

That’s the time that I remember you

And that’s the time that I think of you

And that’s the time

I remember what we used to do

And that’s the time I think of you

But tonight you are the one I’m after

You are the one, no more disasters

You are the one I desire

And you are the one I require

Tonight, oh honey, tonight

That’s right, tonight, baby, tonight

You are the one that I’m after

And you are the one, no more disasters

You are the one I desire

And you are the one that I require

Tonight, oh honey, tonight

Oh honey, that’s right

Tonight, baby, that’s right…
