I get all confused when you mix up the dates |
|
Don't gimme the pretend you come for the weekend |
|
And you stay for the week |
|
You say that you hate it but that's how you made it |
|
Just to keep it oblique |
|
We're both high high high, high high on lemon sips |
|
We're all su-su-su-sucked in by parlor tricks |
|
Oh, the people deceive you, the kids never leave' |
|
Cuz you make them at home |
|
You try to appease them and they show you the stick |
|
But still you pick up the phone |
|
But hey man, you can take it |
|
As long as they don't shove you out in the cold |
|
It's not getting better, no, it's not getting better, man |
|
It's just getting old |
|
And ah ooh, we do what we're programmed to do |
|
Hey, we do what we're told |
|
I never remember to carry my book |
|
When I get on the bus |
|
You never forget when it's your time to pay up |
|
When they are making a fuss |
|
We're both high high high, high high on lemon sips |
|
We're all high high high, high high on wiggling hips |
|
And ah ooh, you break up your plans for the weekend |
|
And ah ooh, you can tell them the dates |
|
But that don't mean they're letting you go |
|
Ooh go ooh |
|
Don't gimme the pretend you come for the weekend |
|
And you stay for the year |
|
Avoid all your plans 'cuz we're making our day jobs |
|
Into a steady career |
|
We're both high high high, high high on lemon sips |
|
We all claw claw claw, claw climb on to sinking ships |
|
And ah ooh, avoid all the cold sideways glances |
|
And ah ooh, celebrate, celebrate, celebrate and then turn to stone |

You turn 25 and now you're all out of escapes, c'mon |
|
Hey the rock writer told me to tell you |
|
Though you're great and you're brave |
|
You still lack that which makes you a star |

We all get a little drunk and we act like apes |
