Like the fires we lit to guide us out the storm drain

We snuck in the fenced area behind the old folks home

With a sense of adventure we made our torches
They would not even last the first leg of our journey
The movies make the wilds seem so tame
The wilds make the movies seem so lame

Would we still see those water bugs that creeped me out?

Nights descent dimmed the vertical slits
Voices on street level became haunting
None in the Cave Clan dared call out for help
We continued our mission with not one welp

Desperation set in but so did silence and urgency

Thunder threatened to drown us
Luckily the rain waited for us to reach the end
Of our unknown destination near the drive-in theater
We reveled at being explorers thanking the Creator

Then we took the overland trails back home soaking wet
