School is out
|
And I walk the empty hallways
|
I walk alone
|
Alone as always
|
There's so many lucky pennies
|
Lying on the floor
|
But where the hell are all the lucky people
|
I can't see them any more
|
And there's such a nasty smell
|
In the bathroom
|
The people float by
|
While the toilets are flushing
|
And there's all this shit written on the bathroom wall
|
With a leaky pen
|
And Lisa loves Jason
|
Oh, Jason loves Ben
|
|
And a letter from Michigan
|
Is sittin' on my desk
|
And I remember one thought
|
But I forget all the rest
|
And the ice cream is melted
|
And dripping down my neck
|
And my bottles standing on the edge of the table
|
And I think it's in the mood to break
|
Me, just break
|
Me, just, just break me
|
|
I messed myself up again
|
Nobody really cares
|
I wish I could just have some time
|
To play with my old teddy bear
|
And maybe I could go
|
To teddy bear heaven
|
Just like her
|
'Cause well, she went when she was eleven
|
But I stayed late
|
'Cause I can't understand physics
|
I don't want to go home
|
And cook myself dinner
|
Or look in the mirror
|
That big, fat mirror
|
That swallows me up in a corridor
|
Oh, just swallows me whole
|
|
And cha ching goes a robber
|
And cha ching goes the gun
|
And cha ching goes the bittersweet
|
Judgmental nun
|
Cha ching goes the gun
|
And cha ching goes the purse
|
And cha ching goes the over-fucked
|
Registered nurse
|
Me, just nurse
|
Me, just, just nurse me
|
|
School is out
|
And I walk the empty hallways
|
I walk alone
|
Alone as always
|
There's so many lucky pennies
|
Lying on the floor
|
But where the hell are all the lucky people
|
Where the hell are all the lucky people
|
I can't see them
|
Any more
|
