| [00:16.48] |
We were the French club dropouts |
| [00:20.78] |
But we never got excused from class |
| [00:25.66] |
The secretary must have been high |
| [00:28.54] |
To turn a blind eye on us sneaking out back |
| [00:33.72] |
And we were pregnant on the balcony |
| [00:38.13] |
And you caught me with a cigarette |
| [00:42.96] |
I never put the thing on my lips |
| [00:45.79] |
Just crushed it and spit on where I laid it to rest |
| [00:58.33] |
I was the best at being second place |
| [01:02.04] |
But now I'm just the runner-up |
| [01:06.40] |
At being the second one you think of every day |
| [01:11.64] |
Before you go back to one |
| [01:23.56] |
We were the law school rejects |
| [01:27.82] |
So we quarrelled at the bar instead |
| [01:33.08] |
Shot out in four words or less |
| [01:35.60] |
You want a jail, you want a mess, you have the right to drink less |
| [01:41.00] |
Then we were floating on a balcony |
| [01:45.21] |
And I fell into a trampoline |
| [01:50.08] |
I never should've looked for a hand |
| [01:52.90] |
From an invisible pushmi-pullyu pushin' on me |
| [02:01.10] |
I was the best at being second place |
| [02:04.53] |
But now I'm just the silver you dread |
| [02:08.91] |
And only in the shape of a bullet |
| [02:12.28] |
Am I ever the shape you see when you wake up dead |
| [02:20.80] |
So will you cauterize the bleeding or bastardize the meaning? |
| [02:26.38] |
I'm the one worth seeing |
| [02:29.25] |
As a waif, a friend, I guess that's the extent |
| [02:33.22] |
More than assisted when you cut inside the paper |
| [02:36.80] |
To project it from the lighthouse and eject it out into the void |
| [02:58.54] |
I was the best at being second place |
| [03:06.40] |
Oh, I was the best at being second place |
| [03:15.40] |
I was the best at being second place |
| [03:23.23] |
Oh, I was the best at being second place |
| [03:32.21] |
I was the best at being second place |
| [03:35.87] |
But now I'm just the runner-up |
| [03:40.47] |
And only the second one you think of every day |
