Regina Spektor School Is Out
School is out And I walk the empty hallways I walk alone Alone as always There's so many lucky pennies Lying on the floor But where the hell are all the lucky people I can't see them any more And there's such a nasty smell In the bathroom The people float by While the toilets are flushing And there's all this shit written on the bathroom wall With a leaky pen And Lisa loves Jason Oh, Jason loves Ben
And a letter from Michigan Is sittin' on my desk And I remember one (thought?) But I forget all the rest And the ice cream is melted And dripping down my neck And my bottles standing on the edge of the table And I think it's in the mood to brea-a-a-a-k Me, just brea-a-a-a-k Me, just, just break me
And I messed myself up again Nobody really cares I wish I could just have some time To play with my old teddy bear And maybe I could go To teddy bear heaven Just like her 'Cause well, she went when she was eleven But I stayed late 'Cause I can't understand physics I don't want to go home And cook myself dinner Or look in the mirror That big, fat mirror That swallows me up in a corridor Oh, just swallows me whole
And ga-gangles a robber And ga-gangles the gun And ga-gangles the bittersweet Judgmental nun Ga-ganles the gun And ga-gangles the purse And ga-gangles the over-fucked Registered nu-u-u-urse Me, just nu-u-u-urse Me, just, just nurse me
School is out And I walk the empty hallways I walk alone Alone as always There's so many lucky pennies Lying on the floor But where the hell are all the lucky people Where the hell are all the lucky people I can't see them A-a-any more
