Licenses to Hide - The Posies

Who’s got into that 80's radio?

I’ve said it for sometime now

I said we should set if for some time now

Who’s going for that carbon dating now?

I’m feeling so old, so old,

But I’m barely a teenager

Years were oversold

But let’s not forget the lives of lovers

Late into your life

As life continues on despite

Oh… those licenses to hide

Oh… those licenses to hide

What dynamic could heal the damage

That you did in your life?

And paint the virgins white

Or not quite

What did you learn from early insolence?

The season that never ends

You were deadly and serious

When will you stop those adolescent trends?

It’s funny ‘til it can’t bend

Then when it breaks it can be funny again

Let’s not forget we’re also funny

When we get undressed

But darling you could use just a little less of Oh,.those licenses to hide

Oh, oh,.those…licenses to hide, oh, oh I admit and I’ll say it now that I love you, I love you

Fears, storms, and endless invasions but I’m here with you

Let’s not forget we’ve all recovered plenty of composures

And now it’s time for some exposure… of Oh,…those licenses to hide

Oh, oh,…those licenses to hide

Oh, oh, oh,…those licenses to hide

What dynamic could heal the damage

That you did in your life?

And paint the nighttime white?

…or not quite.
