The Graduates |
We were the French club dropouts |
But we never got excused from class |
The secretary must have been high |
To turn a blind eye on us sneaking out back |
And we were pregnant on the balcony |
And you caught me with a cigarette |
I never put the thing on my lips |
Just crushed it and spit on where I laid it to rest |
I was the best at being second place |
But now I’m just the runner-up |
At being the second one you think of every day |
Before you go back to one |
We were the law school rejects |
So we quarrelled at the bar instead |
Shot out in four words or less |
You want a jail, you want a mess, you have the right to drink less |
Then we were floating on a balcony |
And I fell into a trampoline |
I never should’ve looked for a hand |
From an invisible pushmi-pullyu pushin' on me |
I was the best at being second place |
But now I’m just the silver you dread |
And only in the shape of a bullet |
Am I ever the shape you see when you wake up dead |
So will you cauterize the bleeding or bastardize the meaning? |
I’m the one worth seeing |
As a waif, a friend, I guess that’s the extent |
More than assisted when you cut inside the paper |
To project it from the lighthouse and eject it out into the void |
I was the best at being second place |
Oh, I was the best at being second place |
I was the best at being second place |
Oh, I was the best at being second place |
I was the best at being second place |
But now I’m just the runner-up |
And only the second one you think of every day |
