lyrics

there’s a pretty stoner
standing on the corner of midnight
she’s a thousand styles away
from this disco scene
unlike the other four, she ain’t the girl next door;
you’re wrecking your brain—
where’ve you seen her before?
or does it just look like
she’s from somewhere up north where it’s green?
it’s the feeling you get
that you come to regret in hindsight
it’s the lengths to which you’ll go
to recoup your dreams

you can turn it on; you can turn it off any time that you like
you can’t go wrong; it won’t be the first time

a Samantha alarm goes out
to the surrounding blockside;
the band is gonna have to play this gig
one drummer short
it’s the notion you get
that you won’t be alone this evening
and to prove that you’re right
it’s the depths to which you’ll resort

you can turn it on; you can turn it off any time that you like
you can’t go wrong; it won’t be like last time
you can turn it on; you can turn it off any time that you like
you can’t go wrong;
it’s only the time of your —

Tuesday afternoon: a ceiling tile’s unglued
this must be her room
the price i had to pay, the demons i had to obey
but i’m here anyway
the sun is clearin’ up my head
i wonder what we said
wait—am i alone in bed?
