Rocks With Holes

(альбом: I'm Sorry That Sometimes I'm Mean - 2002)

The rocks with holes are cold in her pocket
The clock controls the payroll in her rocket
Her eyeballs roll and roll in their sockets
Her teachers can't stand it her teachers say "stop it"
She sticks to the topic her parents say "drop it"

Running in circles is running around
Back and forth motion ain't travelling
Sinking infinitely into the sound
While everyone she knows is sleeping

She packs all her dreams in a glass elevator
Drops the remainder and says "see you later,
I'm gonna get high and find me skater"
She tries but, for some reason, no one will date her
She lies and gets mad and makes everyone hate her

Running in circles is running around
Back and forth motion ain't travelling
Sinking infinitely into the sound
While everyone she knows is sleeping

Is she misleading or is she misled?
Day after day she just stays in her bed
Tries to get up but lays down instead
Smiles to herself and says "i'm in the red!"
Her heart stops screaming and she knows she's dead

Running in circles is running around
Back and forth motion ain't travelling
Sinking infinitely into the sound
While everyone she knows is sleeping

Suddenly there are clouds all around and the clouds all around her are warm
She is so comfortable she never felt this way before
She says "i'm in heaven, I am certain, these aren't the clouds of a storm"
She opens her eyes to her doctor's surprise
And says "i don't want to be dead anymore"
She said "i don't want to be dead anymore"

Running in circles is running around
Back and forth motion ain't travelling
Sinking infinitely into the sound
While everyone she knows is sleeping

Maybe next year she'd get a guitar
Make up some songs and sing them in bars
The people might love her and call her a star
But she'd never know if she stayed in a hole
Encompassed by darkness and out of control

Running in circles is running around
Back and forth motion ain't travelling
Sinking infinitely into the sound
While everyone she knows is watching
Sinking infinitely into the sound
While everyone she knows is laffing
Sinking infinitely into the sound
While everyone she knows is clapping
Sinking infinitely into the sound
While everyone she knows is happy
Everyone she knows is happy
Everyone she knows is happy
