the rocks with holes are cold in her pocket the clock controls the payroll in her rocket her eyeballs roll and roll in their sockets her teachers can't stand it- her teachers say "stop it" she sticks to the topic- her parents say "drop it" running in circles is running around back and forth motion ain't traveling sinking infinitely into the sound while everyone she knows is sleeping she packs all her dreams in a glass elevator drops the remainder and says "see you later, i'm gonna get high and find me skater" she tries but, for some reason, no one will date her she lies and gets mad and makes everyone hate her running in circles is running around back and forth motion ain't traveling sinking infinitely into the sound while everyone she knows is sleeping is she misleading or is she misled? day after day she just stays in her bed tries to get up but lays down instead smiles to herself and says "i'm in the red!" her heart stops screaming and she knows she's dead running in circles is running around back and forth motion ain't traveling sinking infinitely into the sound while everyone she knows is sleeping suddenly there are clouds all around and the clouds all around her are warm she is so comfortable she never felt this way before she says "i'm in heaven, i am certain, these aren't the clouds of a storm" she opens her eyes to her doctor's surprise and says "i don't want to be dead anymore" she said "i don't want to be dead anymore" running in circles is running around back and forth motion ain't traveling sinking infinitely into the sound while everyone she knows is sleeping maybe next year she'd get a guitar make up some songs and sing them in bars the people might love her and call her a star but she'd never know if she stayed in a hole encompassed by darkness and out of control running in circles is running around back and forth motion ain't traveling sinking infinitely into the sound while everyone she knows is watching sinking infinitely into the sound while everyone she knows is laughing sinking infinitely into the sound while everyone she knows is clapping sinking infinitely into the sound while everyone she knows is happy everyone she knows is happy everyone she knows is happy |
