One False Move - Lyrics - Fast Times

Fast Times is a seven-episode 1986 television remake of the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High that was produced by Amy Heckerling, who directed the original film. Cameron Crowe, who penned the original Fast Times novel and film screenplay, served as creative consultant. Moon Unit Zappa participated as a technical consultant. She was hired in order to research slang terms and mannerisms of teenagers, as she had just graduated from high school at the time and had a much better grasp of then-current high school behavior than the writers. Oingo Boingo provided the theme song.

Is a nest still a nest, when the nest is built from thorns? Its a nest, nontheless, if it protects a young creature from the Dangers of strangers, starvation and the cold. It may keep you warm, it may keep you safe. But what good is safe? What good is safe when there's no escape? This nest was shared under the premise of "care". One false move and your cut, so you fear. It may keep you warm, it may keep you safe. But what good is safe? What good is safe when there's no escape? One day she'll find a way to escape from the thorns that keep her Prisoner inside. But a nest built from thorns is all she knows, And thorns will be the walls of her new home.
