lyrics

Kissing's an American hobby, to hold an apple to your teeth.
No one's strong when they make love, but it's something you can keep.

It's hard to walk and understand, to keep the rhythm in your hands.
Yr supposed to operate day to day, but your best friend just wants to get you laid.

Just walk around and shrug your shoulders.
Just say: "Yeah".

Missing will cos you're half asleep.
Your heart's a drag and it's rather cheap.
Sunsets look good in a magazine on the bathroom floor
of a teenage dream.

Some people try and breathe release with half a chant
and they'll buy a feel.

I'm so high I will never land. Man, I'll never understand.

Walk around and shrug your shoulders.

So just say: " "
