作曲 : Rheostatics Martin Tielli Joey pulled himself to his feet, Hauled his body back up the bank And looked back down there. He said the water was not that deep; "But I almost drowned there." You can drown in a bathtub so they say. "Someone in class called me a loser, So I decided to skip the day... I tried to look casual sneaking round the back, Past the shotput across the track And to the gate beside the portables. But a red tie and school gray slacks Doesn't blend in with the grass As the teacher was changing class. He chased me halfway through the park, Till I ran into the woods; And I'm very good in the woods. So I was an Indian, Built a fire by the creek And dried my eyes there." There's a record body count this year. Joey stepped up on a block of ice, Put a rope around his neck, And fell asleep before he died.
