lyrics

big trouble in our small town,
a robber named james and a
killer named john.
how can i love you when you're not around?
when the world in sighing with one sad sound?

tell me 'bout your family
and tell me 'bout your mom,
tell me 'bout your boyfriend
and the pills he's on.
illinois is like your own time bomb,
a burning planet you gotta get off of.

i am hoping you're the queen.
when i see you tonight on the t.v. screen.
and in my mind you're still sixteen
when i think of you tonight, kathleen.
when i think of you tonight, kathleen.
when i think of you tonight, kathleen.

hey cool dudes that are skippin' school,
chasing older girls who know what to do.
i'm not for you, no i'm not your style,
but you still call me up every once in a while.

when i get kicked, you get crowned,
show a little skin when you parade around.
if we're not lost, how will we get found?
i'm looking for you, still hoping for you.

i am hoping you're the queen.
when i see you tonight on the t.v. screen.
and in my mind you're still sixteen
when i dream of you tonight, kathleen.
when i dream of you tonight, kathleen.
when i dream of you tonight, kathleen.
