  • (Baby, I want ya)
    (Test, test, test)
    (Maybe, like, some of Jack's newer stuff)
    (One, two, one, two, one, two)

    She's my alma mater
    Chasing lines all night
    Smoking me outta sight
    Well, summer's getting hotter
    Threw her t-shirt down the pike
    Screaming, "Fuck Balenciaga"
    Right past the Wawa
    Threw on "Heartattack and Vine"
    As she alligator cries
    Lana (I'll make it darker)
    2003, sad all the time

    (C'mon) point the headlights, flicker dear
    Drive by the old house, go for a beer
    We're on the green or the movie theatre
    You're a movie to me, the way you move around me

    She's my alma mater
    Summer's getting hotter
    Threw her t-shirt down the pike

    Some dreams, I wake up thinkin' 'bout
    Some dreams are meant to die
    Kill Your Idols in the street outside in daylight
    'Cause if we walk, we'll get high tonight
    Shoulder to the wheel tonight
    Joke about blowing town tonight
    Until we drive past my alma mater

    She's my alma mater
    Chasing lines all night
    Smoking me outta sight
    Well, summer's getting hotter
    Threw her t-shirt down the pike
    (Screaming) "Fuck Balenciaga"
    Right past the Wawa
    Threw on "Heartattack and Vine"
    As she alligator cries
    Lana (I'll make it darker) Writer/s: Elizabeth Grant, Jack Michael Antonoff
