lyrics

You squint into the light
And make a vain attempt to stay on your bar stool.
No matter how you try,
You never, really ever, leave high school.

Barbarians beating down your door,
Bad aquarians wanting more and more,
Shipwrecked aliens jumping overboard,
And your only friend is knocked out on the bathroom floor.

You squint into the light
And make a vain attempt to stay on your bar stool.
No matter how you try,
You never, really ever, leave high school.

Bad attitude and an appetite for some kinky fun,
Too much latitude and a little too much sun.
If you got a clue, you'd back out of your congressional run.
But you're getting screwed by a Buddhist monk and a catholic nun.

You squint into the light
And make a vain attempt to stay on your bar stool.
No matter how you try,
You never, really ever, leave high school.

You obviously want to be looked at,
But probably don't want to be looked at by me.
You obviously want to be talked to,
But probably don't want to be talked to by me.
You obviously want to be danced with,
But probably don't want to be danced with by me.
I'll wait and see, wait and see, wait and see,
Till you walk out the door forever.
Yeah.
