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 brea-a-a-a-k

Me, just brea-a-a-a-k

Me, just, just break me

And 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 ga-gangles a robber

And ga-gangles the gun

And ga-gangles the bittersweet

Judgmental nun

Ga-ganles the gun

And ga-gangles the purse

And ga-gangles the over-fucked

Registered nu-u-u-urse

Me, just nu-u-u-urse

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

A-a-any more
