Looking Over My Shoulder
Wiped out in the city slick
Another sick rock and roller acting like a dick
Needing cash, burning through the trash
That piles up in this place
And fills up behind my empty face
Full of things that I'm not to do
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't wanna know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
I run down to the corner lot
It's 45 past two, I almost forgot to show
I got a date to make with Mr. So-and-so
After which I won't care when you all start to bitch
And moan about being alone
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't wanna know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
Well, can't you just leave me alone?
You've already thrown all the sticks and stones
You had to send my way
Well, can't you just leave it at that?
And spare us both the bother
'Cause I just bounce back anyway
I got nothing that I want to do
More than make another sonic fuck you to play
Whenever you make my life cliché, so to fit
In some little box with the all the labeled shit
You'd say to keep confusion away
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't wanna know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't wanna know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away
Another sick rock and roller acting like a dick
Needing cash, burning through the trash
That piles up in this place
And fills up behind my empty face
Full of things that I'm not to do
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't wanna know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
I run down to the corner lot
It's 45 past two, I almost forgot to show
I got a date to make with Mr. So-and-so
After which I won't care when you all start to bitch
And moan about being alone
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't wanna know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
Well, can't you just leave me alone?
You've already thrown all the sticks and stones
You had to send my way
Well, can't you just leave it at that?
And spare us both the bother
'Cause I just bounce back anyway
I got nothing that I want to do
More than make another sonic fuck you to play
Whenever you make my life cliché, so to fit
In some little box with the all the labeled shit
You'd say to keep confusion away
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't wanna know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away with nowhere to go
You come over with all of your friends
And all their opinions I don't wanna know
And I'm looking over my shoulder
Booking away
