Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun
With a ligther and some hairspray
Smoking in the girls' room
Not worse than Shelley's rape
behind the McDonald's
By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody
Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting someNow we look back and see that she didn't know how
We never thought that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage wasteAs we explode
As we explodeThen getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart
Rolling around in them to see if you would get prickled
Slip the acid on your tongue rooftop shopping mall parkade
We couldn't get enoughThen count the stars and the ten million woes
Just you and the universe judging each other
We never knew that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage wasteAs we explode
As we explode
As we explode
As we let goIt's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong
Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar
More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell
At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break
Such a good, good story to tellYou bully, you break, you bully, you break
You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake
You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt, you hit it and you're in it and it's spinningAnd it's wild
We never thought that we'd get caught up
Stuck in the teenage wasteAs we explode
As we explode
As we explode
As we let goWe're counting the stars
We're counting the stars
We're gonna go far, we're gonna go far
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
We're not very far, we're not very farAnd it's you and me in the open air
It's truth or dare, we don't care
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars, we're counting the stars |
