School Night

Stop I didn't quite catch that?
Over the sound of my own voice
The whole year's going on down to the lake
Oh the burden of choice
Okay but remember what happened last time
The invitation was a pack of lies
You mow the lawn in a suit and tie
So your nickname's pretty justified darling
So put your best dress on and your left foot forward
Better take care of your heels because we do a lot of running
Now you won't let slip but there's something funny
My shoes are clean
The time is right
Your mother says you can't
Because it's a school night
I wouldn't put up a fight
Because she scares me to death
Just like prom there was no one there
No white limo's gonna take you home
I need to leave my phone alone tonight
Because it's only gonna hurt more
I could've seen to all my work but
I'm standing here dressed like a clown
But I know my friends are dominoes
Someday they'll all fall down
I'm sure of it now
So put your best dress on and your left foot forward
Better take care of your heels because we do a lot of running
Now you won't let slip but there's something funny
My shoes are clean
The time is right
Your mother says you can't
Because it's a school night
I wouldn't put up a fight
Because she scares me to death
I'm not gonna be Carrie
There ain't a spot of blood on this dress
I'm just gonna get mighty mighty drunk
Until the populars are all impressed
But that's not the way I roll
I feel something beautiful and that's right
