hair raising, painstaking
all around you battles raging
pot boiling, fast talking
i saw you jay walking
looking in parked car windows
to see your own reflection

life is still sweet, life is still sweet
just forget what i said last week
life is still sweet

compromising, solarizing
breaking up can be pulverizing
you can be all you want dear
don’t forget your riot gear
may the wind blow behind you
may happiness someday find you

rollercoaster, oven toaster
on the road to a one-hit wonder
trailblazing totally amazing
looking up while you’re going under
please step away from the car
please step away from the car
