Three Young Men In Their Late Twenties To Early Thirties, Walkin' Down The Street Yeah Day!

Three young men in their late twenties to early thirties, walkin' down the street yeah
One of em lookin for his girlfriend, who's off tryin' to figure things out

Three young men in their late twenties to early thirties, walkin' down the street yeah
One of em, Josh, age 27, hopin' to find his girlfriend at one of the places she always liked to go to, places like the used bookstore and her mom's

But what Josh don't know yeah
Is his girlfriend feels like she's been wasting her time trying to get backing for her literary magazine yeah
So Josh's girlfriend ran off into the woods to live there for a while

Three young men in their late twenties to early thirties, walkin' down the street yeah
There's Josh, the one we already met, yeah
There's Charles, age 32 and gay
And then there's Leo who tried to commit suicide only six weeks ago and no one knows about it yeah

Oh oh oh Josh's girlfriend's name is Diana and Diana's got pretty brown hair that streaks out over her cheeks and kisses her on the lips
Ah ah ah Diana doesn't laugh that much and she doesn't cry much either but she smiles
Oh when she smiles
Oh when she smiles
It's not that big a deal

(!!!FREEZE FRAME REAL CLOSE ON LEO LOOKING PENSIVE!!!)
Hey Leo why ya so sad?
Is it because ya have so much trouble being glad?
For all the wonderful things you've had?
Or are you just mad?
That you drank a lot of vodka and ate a lot of prescription muscle relaxers intending to be found on the floor of your bedroom near-dead in a pool of your own vomit and rushed to the hospital but instead you fell asleep and woke up dizzy after not too long and vomited it all out all on your own into your toilet and then went and got in bed without no one even knowing you just tried to kill yourself and not even getting to go to the hospital and have everyone worry for the next year and a half about whether you were gonna try again yeah?
Hey Leo it's gonna be okay. Just get drunk and tell someone about it.

Three young men in their late twenties to early thirties, walkin' down the street yeah
Charles, the gay one, is doing fine
Both financially and socially, yeah oh yeah

Three young men in their late twenties to early thirties, walkin' down the street yeah
Diana's in the woods Josh
If only you read Girls Are Pretty
You'd know she's out in the woods
And she's not thinking about you

She's thinkin' bout Phoenix (she grew up there)

Happy Three Young Men In Their Late Twenties To Early Thirties, Walkin' Down The Street Yeah Day!
