Pretty girls don’t just park where they want to
They gotta go ’round in circles like we all do
And like a mother betrayed
They’re gonna find someday
Everything is not okay

I used to think
The whole world’s gonna sink
And where will we be
Perhaps under a shrinkin’ Earth
There’s a better place for what it’s worth

Head low but you gotta let it sway
No miracle gonna happen when you feel that way
Bent up but you gotta let it sway
No firecracker in the dark gonna light your way
Blown out but you gotta let it sway

Pretty pretty and so continental
You slide into each others’ arms unintentionally
Because you wanted to see, “was he cool like me?”
Think I gotta say no way

Blown out but you gotta let it sway
Throw my candle in the fire and I’m on my way
