Our Whole Lives |
The kids are ripping into sugar packets |
The townies taking off their tavern jackets |
I’m in the pews sticking bills in the basket |
Praying that they’re cool when I come pick up the package |
Tonight we’re gonna have a really good time |
But I want to go to heaven on the day I die |
Gonna make like a preemptive strike |
Hit the 5:30 mass early Saturday night |
Ring, ring, ring goes the telephone |
Tell my little lambs that I’m on my way home |
Stop by the shop and get a bottle to go |
Maybe something stronger if the right guy’s on the corner |
Bang, bang, bang go the quarter-notes |
St. Theresa told me we should rattle our bones |
Now we’re we’re going off to the dial tone |
Some kid started blowing on a saxophone |
Cheerleaders dream of quarterbacks |
Jock Jills go for jumping Jacks |
Goth girls love the vampire bats |
They want to draw a little blood for their bath |
Well, I don’t go much for that spooky stuff |
I like the lights and the uptempo tracks |
You’re damn right I believe in love |
Because I’ve been in love and I’ve loved right back |
Bang, bang, bang goes the backing track |
Some kid’s coming around with a magic backpack |
I didn’t know that you could dance like that |
I’m gonna have to ask you to take two steps back |
Sing, sing, sing every song we know |
Blowing out the speakers on your stereo |
You finally stopped talking about that boy back home |
Maybe that’s just better, if you want you can sleep over |
We’re good guys, but we can’t be good every night |
We’re good guys, but we can’t be good our whole lives |
We’re good guys, but we can’t be good every night |
Father, I have sinned and I want to do it all again tonight |
The townies taking off their tavern jackets |
Making guitars out of tennis rackets |
It’s been getting so the hardest part |
Is trying to talk some sense into our sparkling hearts |
Ring, ring, ring goes the telephone |
Tell my little lambs that I’m on my way home |
Yes, yes, yes go the majorettes |
They lead the band onto the field with their cigarettes |
Bang, bang, bang, she’s a cleaning freak |
She scrubs the surface until it’s sparkling |
Neat, neat, neat 'til her fingers bleed |
She was giving off blue light on the first night that she came to me |
We’re good guys, but we can’t be good every night |
We’re good guys, but we can’t be good our whole lives |
We’re good guys, but we can’t be good every night |
We’re good guys, but we can’t be good our whole lives |
She was giving off blue light on the first night that she came to me |
Father, I have sinned and I want to do it all again eventually |
