Supermarket Sunshine
Supermarket Sunshine wakes up when its cold outside
Puts himself back to bed and waits for the high tide
Supermarket Sunshine shows up to school so high
Scribbles on the walls, but doesn't talk because he's so shy
Supermarket Sunshine tied up and did bind
All the girls' fragile hearts because he was confined
To angsty afternoons
Dying too soon
Sitting on that chair in the early fall beach gloom
Supermarket Sunshine goes skating with his friend, Rye
They do the cool tricks then they give each other high fives
Supermarket Sunshine journals about last night
Shattered ear drums from bass amps turned up high
Supermarket Sunshine goes swimming for the first time
First he does a stroke then he executes the high dive
To angsty afternoons
Dying too soon
Sitting on that chair in the early fall beach gloom
And all the pretty girls at the skater park scene
They want the boys to watch them, but they only watch TV
They sleep all day and they stay up all night
And they go crazy by the firelight
Supermarket Sunshine Puffs on his glass pipe
Ties up his laces though they look cooler untied
And Supermarket Sunshine drinks iced tea for 99 cents
From the store with the fortune teller outside
Supermarket Sunshine dreams of insecticide
Poisoning us all and then laughing at our decline
To angsty afternoons
Dying too soon
Sitting on that chair in the early fall beach gloom
Puts himself back to bed and waits for the high tide
Supermarket Sunshine shows up to school so high
Scribbles on the walls, but doesn't talk because he's so shy
Supermarket Sunshine tied up and did bind
All the girls' fragile hearts because he was confined
To angsty afternoons
Dying too soon
Sitting on that chair in the early fall beach gloom
Supermarket Sunshine goes skating with his friend, Rye
They do the cool tricks then they give each other high fives
Supermarket Sunshine journals about last night
Shattered ear drums from bass amps turned up high
Supermarket Sunshine goes swimming for the first time
First he does a stroke then he executes the high dive
To angsty afternoons
Dying too soon
Sitting on that chair in the early fall beach gloom
And all the pretty girls at the skater park scene
They want the boys to watch them, but they only watch TV
They sleep all day and they stay up all night
And they go crazy by the firelight
Supermarket Sunshine Puffs on his glass pipe
Ties up his laces though they look cooler untied
And Supermarket Sunshine drinks iced tea for 99 cents
From the store with the fortune teller outside
Supermarket Sunshine dreams of insecticide
Poisoning us all and then laughing at our decline
To angsty afternoons
Dying too soon
Sitting on that chair in the early fall beach gloom
