Sixteen years looking up at the blackboard I don't even know how to read I got pills to make the hamster wheels turn faster But the monkey's in the driver's seat And now I tear myself apart about everything I want I miss my good old rockin' self esteem You can take out the wax and tie me to the mast I gotta hear the sirens scream Don't listen to me I just need a good night's sleep And you keep me up all night Can't talk right I'm fallin' in my clothes And even though I'm feeling like death I can't be upset 'Cause I finally know You can document the teenage wildlife Psychoanalyze the modern man You can classify 'em all by bloodtype But you're never gonna understand What a kind of old noir reaction To the anonymity of youth Go to sleep before the main attraction Downtown flats could never glow like you I'm going to sleep And you keep me up all night Can't talk right I'm fallin' in my clothes And even though I'm feeling like death I can't be upset 'Cause I finally know I don't want to be an animal (Oh no) But you're making this hard for me But I don't want to be an animal (Oh no) But you're drawing me close And you keep me up all night Can't talk right I'm fallin' in my clothes And even though I'm feeling like death I can't be upset 'Cause I finally know Y'all finally know Y'all finally know Y'all finally know Y'all finally know
