  • So happy I was invited
    Gave me a reason to get out of the city
    See you inside watching swarms on TV
    Livin' and dyin' in New York, it means nothing to me
    I gave my heart to the Army
    The only sentimental thing I could think of
    With cousins, and colors and somewhere overseas
    But it'll take a better war to kill a college man like me

    I'm too tired to drive anywhere, anyway right now
    Do you care if I stay?
    You can put on your bathing suits
    And I'll try to find somethin' on this thing that means nothin' enough
    Losin' my breath, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
    Losin' my breath, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

    You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
    I want to sit in and die
    You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
    Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
    You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
    I want to sit in and die
    You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
    Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

    This pricey stuff makes me dizzy
    I guess I've always been a delicate man
    Takes me a day to remember a day
    I didn't mean to let it get so far out of hand
    I was a comfortable kid
    But I don't think about it much anymore
    Lay me on the table, put flowers in my mouth
    And we can say that we invented a summer lovin' torture party

    I'm too tired to drive anywhere, anyway right now
    Do you care if I stay?
    You can put on your bathing suits
    And I'll try to find something on this thing that means nothin' enough

    You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
    I want to sit in and die
    You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
    Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
    You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
    I want to sit in and die
    You and your sister live in a Lemonworld
    Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

    Losin' my breath
