Prom Song (Gone Wrong)

Boy, it’s late, walk me home

Put your hand in mine

At the gates, stop and say

Be my Valentine

You are by far the brightest star

I’ve ever seen

And I never dreamed

I’d be so happy that I could die

Used to say that I was beautiful

Like Cleopatra

But you the king too so I would say

Back at’cha!

I flip my hair and make you stare

And put my makeup on

And make up stories ‘bout my life

And put on Very Cherry Bomb

And even then I knew that we were

Something serious

That you would dominate my thoughts

Of Radio Two serials

I’d see you in the hall like

Hello, hello

Up against the wall like

Let’s go, let’s go!

Let me take you out of this town

Let me do it right now, baby

Dancing till dawn, staying forever young

Let’s get out of this place

‘Cause you’re starting to waste

Within this teenage wasteland

You will never see my face

If you don’t get me out of this place

Now, baby, I'm not crazy

I'm leaving, are you coming with me?

If you’re lonely, baby, hold me

You’re my only one

Watching television, kissin’

Till we see the Sun

So far, we are safe in the dark

And I never dreamed that I’d be the queen

And I’d be so happy that I could die

You used to call yourself The Don

And call me Queen Diana

You always make me blush I say

Shut up, boy, you bananas

You pull my hair and push me down

And chase me, make me run

You play me Biggie Smalls

And then my first Nirvana song

So even then when no one’s friends

Were really serious

I knew you loved me by the way

You looked in second period

I’d see you in the hall like

Hello, hello

Up against the wall like

Let’s go, let’s go!

Let me take you out of this town

Let me do it right now, baby

Dancing till dawn, staying forever young

Let’s get out of this place

‘Cause you’re starting to waste

Within this teenage wasteland

You will never see my face

If you don’t get me out of this place

Now, baby, I'm not crazy

I'm leaving, are you coming with me?

I know that they say

That all I want is to have fun

And get away for rainy days

I know that they think I’ve come undone

But I'm in love

I wanna run, run, run away

I'm leaving, are you coming with me?

Let me take you out of this town

Let me do it right now, baby

Dancing till dawn, staying forever young

Let’s get out of this place

‘Cause you’re starting to waste

Within this teenage wasteland

You will never see my face

If you don’t get me out of this place

Now, baby, I'm not crazy

I'm leaving, are you coming with me?
