Crash the Prom

by Scott Roley

on Within My Reach (1985)

She has another date
I'll have to crash the gate
To see the celebration

Although I'm out of school
I all ways hoped and prayed
I'd get her invitation

Tonight's the night I'm going to crash the prom
Find that girl I lost see what she's running from
With anger in my pocket and sunglasses on
Tonight I'm going to crash the prom

I see her standing there
She holds another hand
I need an explanation

The sweet soul music plays
I dream she still loves me
In my imagination

I see those high school boys
In their rented suits
The night they've waited for
Don't the look so cute?

The picture is very clear
I am so juvenile
I live by my emotions

What am I doing here?
I'm only standing out
Because I was not chosen
