lyrics
11:59 - AM Medley
What’s that feeling conquering me,
Is it doubt, is it insecurity?
No, I just think I’m just hungry,
For good food, for a break, for some clarity.
I’m sore from carrying Jeny last night,
Shoulder to shoulder, lilting in the lamplight.
God was she smashed, she can’t handle her booze,
Get drunk or be weird, no choice there to choose.
//
The eyes of the others,
They’re on me today.
Jenny said I’m pretty,
John’ll say it too.
Smiles are mine!
If I get horny,
I'll wait patiently,
Else I'll seem slutty.
Later, dancer, goddess,
A's, stars, success,
They'll see!
//
Why do I forget all structure when class ends,
I'm not really sure.
So I went and gave that cursed paper in,
Wished so bad that I kept my discipline.
Maybe if this was my passion,
I'd work in consistent fashion.
But everything I learn and see is fascinating,
How could I choose?
Can't keep but procrastinating.
//
Nothing at all changed,
And why would it ever?
They teach trite, boring shit.
They teach to pull a lever.
But I'll learn the gems underneath,
What I love about this course.
It's just a crying shame that mindless learning's what's endorsed.
//
This garden of youth,
This garden of youth,
For ever more,
In this garden of youth.
This garden of stone,
This garden of stone,
When will my youth join,
This garden of stone?
//
Own this thin hair and own these big ears,
Own charms to give butterflies,
Own a basket of fears.
Own 21 years gone under the bridge,
Own more years to come that will pass fleetingly,
To finally turn,
That Someone into me.
//
The PM this midday is set to give,
Let the band count my life.
By God,
I'll show it how to live!
