Additional lyrics

2. So you found a girl who thinks really deep thoughts

What's so amazing ahout really deep thoughts
Boy you best pray that I bleed real soon
How's that thought for you

My scream got lost in a paper cup

You think there's a heaven where some screams have gone
I got twenty-five bucks and a cracker
Do you think it's enough... to get us there
Cause
(Chorus to 2nd ending)

3. Well, I love the way we communicate

Your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
Let's hear what you think of me now
But baby don't look up the sky is falling

Your mother shows up in a nasty dress

It's your turn now to stand where I stand

And everybody lookin' at you

Here take hold of my hand... yeah, I can hear them

But

(Chorus to Coda)
