Ghost World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Finals blew, I barely knew
My graduation speech
And with college out of reach
If I don't find a job
It's down to Dad and Myrtle Beach
So I'm bailing this town
Or tearing it down
Or probably more like hanging around
Hanging around
Everyone I know is acting weird
Or way too cool
They hang out by the pool
So I just read a lot and rode my bike
Around the school
'Cause I'm bailing this town
Or tearing it down
Or probably more like hanging around
Hanging around
And all that I need now is someone
with the brains and the know-how
to tell me what I want... anyhow
12th of June, a gibbous Moon
Was this the longest day?
I'll walk down to the bay
and jump off of the dock and watch
the summer waste away
Then I'm bailing this town
Or tearing it down
Or probably more like hanging around
Then I'm bailing this town
Or tearing it down
Or probably more like hanging around
Hanging around
Hanging around
Hanging around
So tell me what I want
