Lyrics for Nearly Midnight, Honolulu
Hey, little kid that I saw at the bus stop one day It was nearly midnight in Honolulu (Lulu) We were waiting for the shuttle to take us to the aeroplane When your mother said, your mother said Like I couldn't hear her, she said, "Get the fuck away from me! Why don't you ever shut up? Get the fuck away from me!" Oh, oh Well, I just want to say that it happened 'Cause one day when you ask yourself, "Did it really happen?" You won't believe it, but yes, it did And I'm sorry And I'm sorry 'Cause it happens everyday They won't believe you When you tell them They won't believe you When you say, "My mother, she did not love me. My mother, she did not love me" No (no) No (no) No (no) No (no) No (no) No (no) No (no) No (no) Some days you feel like a cartoon And people will rush to make excuses for you You'll hear yourself complain But don't you ever shut up please Kid, have your say 'Cause I still love you Even if I don't see you again
