1. Would you like to say something before you leave
   Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel
   We said good-bye before we said hello
   I hardly even like you, I shouldn't care at all
   We met just six hours ago, the music was too loud
2. Dig if you will the picture
   Of you and I engaged in a kiss
   The sweat of your body covers me
   Can you my darling...can you picture this?
3. I saw teenage girls like gaudy moths
   A classrooms shabby butterflies
   Flirt in the glow of stranded telephone boxes;
   Planning white lace weddings from smeared hearts and token proclamations,
   Rolled from stolen lipsticks across the razored webs of glass
   Sharing cigarettes with experience
   With her giggling jealous confidantes,
   She faithfully traces his name
   With quick bitten fingernails
   Through the tears of condensation
   That’ll cry through the night
   As the glancing headlights of the last bus
   Kiss adolescence goodbye

Here is a sample card, and borrowing from Kimota94 - there are "blog points"^tm up for grabs:
