The Last Record Store - todd austin john elsliger

An 80's movie scene
young lovers always meet
perusing record bins
the title track begins
Posters of all
my heroes on the wall

I went looking for myself
on the alphabetic shelf
the back of record sleeves
the local music scenes
A box of mixed tapes
of bands my parents hate

One billion copies sold
the last record store is closed

Wait around for weeks
for the latest new release
I need tickets for the show
I need fake I.D. to go
Standing in line
overnight this time

The buttons on her purse
the colors in her hair
the logo on her shirt
the reason that she's there
I've seen her around
the record shop downtown
I still have the set list from
the last concert here was done

The next generation won't know what this means
after the rise and the fall of CDs
Coffee shops open all over the place
a record store vanishes without a trace

Its liquidation day
they'll be open extra late
The neon record spins
the closing track begins
Will young lovers find
each other just on time

The end of another song, the last record store is gone
