歌词
I wish there was a way to start most every day
Start dead with no feeling
I wish I'd seen the need, so I could intercede
As time cuts along
I wish I'd had the chance of some significance
At least a warm embrace
And though I'd rather be alive - I'd rather be alive
As time cuts along
There are many ways to feel special
There are many ways to feel secure
Because your friends are near when you need them
I wish I could forget foreboding epithets hidden in your words
And if I'd had the chance given the circumstance
As time cuts along
The days are touch and go, the nights only so-so
Without the man from Mars
And though I'd rather be alive - I'd rather be alive
As time cuts along
There are many ways to feel special
There are many ways to feel secure
Because your friends are near when you need them
It reminds me of a girl in another life
She was scared alive and so she snuck down to the garage
She found herself a rope and her favorite chair
She slung the rope around the highest beam
And you know this girl was so soft and so sweet
She stepped up on the chair and leapt into midair
She shit her pants and swung... Teenage American Style
