high school slow dance

six feet deep in a swimming pool of tar

been stuck here for sixteen years so far

wasting time, every hour, every day

as a method to push all my troubles away

wasting time, wasting time all my life

 i hope time don’t pass me by

wasting time, wasting time all alone

maybe I’ll find time of my own

sitting still like a puddle of water

catching flies all day

saving all of my worries for later

they’re leftovers anyway

got big plans of all different kinds 

just the sorts from a brilliant mind

i’m a millionaire with life lived in squalor

looking for more of my talents to squander

wasting time, wasting time all my life

 i hope time don’t pass me by

wasting time, wasting time all alone

maybe I’ll find time of my own

sitting still like a puddle of water

catching flies all day

saving all of my worries for later

they’re leftovers anyway

sitting still like a puddle of water

catching flies all day

saving all of my worries for later

they’re leftovers anyway
