NJC: I Wish to God that Were a Fake I.D. in My Pocket But I'm Really Just Happy to See You

A song/poem I'm kicking around; feedback welcome.

Hey Jimmy from mail room meet me tonight
at the will-call line of the pop-punk show
I got my ticket, got my t-shirt
got'em both on-line, you know

Man, this place ain't changed yeah I been here before
think it was '91 or so
Iron Maiden out on the "No Prayer" tour
I can't believe it was so bloody long ago

Well I'm 33 yeah here's my I.D.
and bless your heart for asking
I got a baby face and a young man's spark
and in wasted youth I'm basking

Hey who's that girl?
And what's that tattoo?
Its probably Asian for "beauty is pain"
'cause I don't understand
and it hurts to imagine
the things I might do if I just knew her name

I'm the oldest guy at the Fall Out Boy show
singing along to songs I'm not supposed to know
Godzilla in a Mecha-Godzilla world
The oldest guy at the Fall Out Boy show
we used to call it "life" but now they call it "emo"
misery and woe is me
for I've fallen in love with a Fall Out Boy girl.
