Hush now hush now hush. Rush now rush now rush.
Run faster than before.
Push push push push push. Push push push push push.
Push that fear right out the door, my dear.
Kick kick kick kick kick. Kick kick kick kick kick.
Kick that monkey drug off your back and sing.
Whine whine whine whine whine. Don’t whine whine whine whine whine.
As hard as it is today, in a year you won’t feel the same way.
So scream scream scream scream scream. Dream scream scream scream scream.
Yell at the world, say: I’m not through with you!
So cry cry cry cry cry. Won’t you cry cry cry cry cry.
Put your tears in a glass that’s rimmed with salt so I can go.
Take take take take take. Take take take take take.
Won’t you take what you need from me you will see it’s great.
And celebrate celebrate brate. Celebrate celebrate brate.
Pop the balloons in the middle of June, you’re the best.
As you can see this can go on for days. I could celebrate fifteen other ways.
But I really want you to feel comfortable and true.
So I won’t lie lie lie lie lie. I won’t lie lie lie lie lie.
I saw you walking around, all over town and I’m trying to bring you back.
So come back back back right now. You come back back back right now.
Don’t close your eyes forever. We’ll never get together then.
Don’t die die die die die. Don’t die die die die die.
My heart is so fragile I don’t think that I could handle that now.
Oh my heart is so fragile I don’t think that I could handle that now.
So hope hope hope hope hope. Let’s hope hope hope hope hope.
That this rope is long enough I could pull you over stuff so you’re fine.
Let’s find another place. Where we can have this race.
I’ll race you around the rosy, everything’ll be cozy, you’ll see.
And draw draw draw draw draw. Draw draw draw draw draw.
Draw your guns at noon and whisper a happy tune to the dead man.
So draw your guns at noon and we’ll whisper a happy tune to the dead man.
