Yvonne and I lived together for awhile
Down at the band house in Peoria
Our lab was set up in the basement
Prolonged hell mixed with bursts of euphoria
I often slept with her crazy twin sister
A swirl of fascination and fear
No one knows where Yvonne went
Maybe she'll return next year.
Yvonne
Standing in the shadows
Yvonne
Loved like there was no tomorrow
Yvonne
Standing at attention
Her mind was beyond my comprehension
I lost track of her... after David... after Paul
But I never forgot about the things we did
In that Spring, Summer, and Fall
I moved to a new life being in high tech
Beginning my cube life against a stacked deck
During those long nights of moving bits
I guess I loved her
I got to admit
Yvonne
Standing in the shadows
Yvonne
Loved like there was no tomorrow
Yvonne
Standing at Attention
Our love was in another dimension
She's a winner trapped inside a loser
A body built like a battle cruiser
Dark and friendless until she opened up the sky
Did she ever get sick of being high
She started drinking so much blood
At all the underground parties
Making sure to take the last train home
With her pretty bipolar zombies
I heard she got shot on the Ohio River
Over where the two roads end
Told her not to hang out with her creepy friends
She was an angel who lost her way
