Mortimer's ghost graduates today
|
First in his class and well on his way
|
The dry cleaning king of Baltimore's only kid
|
Thinks back on all the things he almost did
|
"I could've wrecked the car
|
I could have broke the law
|
I could've fell love with every girl I saw
|
But I didn't and I missed my chance to fail
|
And if I tried right now well I'd probably go to jail"
|
La la la la...look at me now
|
|
CHORUS I've got it figured out
|
Life is a long conversation
|
And love is a call that never ends
|
Don't hang up the phone you're not alone
|
You're with me and I'm with you
|
And we're with friends
|
|
Mortimer's ghost calls me to confess
|
His job is a joke, his life meaningless
|
"They tell you what to do and make you walk the plank
|
Freedom's just another word for you owe the bank"
|
La la la la...look at me now
|
CHORUS
|
|
BRIDGE: Buckled up in shirts and ties
|
Waiting for the downsize
|
You decorate your cubicle
|
You can't go out your schedules full
|
Got to get the kids at five
|
They're judging you by what you drive
|
They're judging you by what you drive
|
La la la la...look at us now
|
CHORUS
