Our Whole Lives

[Verse 1] Kids are ripping into sugar packets Townies taking off their tavern jackets I'm in the pews sticking bills in the basket Praying that they're cool when I come pick up the package Tonight we're gonna have a really good time But I want to go to heaven on the day I die Going to make like a preemptive strike Hit the five thirty mass early Saturday night [Chorus] Ring ring ring goes the telephone Tell my little lambs that I'm on my way home Stop by the shop and get a bottle to go Maybe something stronger if the right guy's on the corner Bang bang bang goes the quarter notes Saint Theresa told me you should rattle our bones Now you're going off to the dial tone Some kid started blowing on the saxophone [Verse 2] Cheerleaders dream of quarterbacks Jock jills go for jumping jacks Goth girls love the vampire bats They wanna draw a little blood for their bath Well, I don't go much for that spooky stuff I like the lights and the up tempo tracks You're damn right I believe in love Because I've been in love and I've loved right back [Chorus] Bang bang bang goes the backing track Some kid is coming around with a magic backpack I didn't know that you could dance like that I'm gonna have to ask that you take two steps back Sing sing sing every song we know Blowing out the speakers on your stereo You finally stopped talking about that boy back home Maybe that's just better, if you want you can sleep over [Bridge] We're good guys but we can't be good every night We're good guys but we can't be good our whole lives We're good guys but we can't be good every night Now father I have sinned and I wanna do it all again tonight [Verse 3] The townies taking off their tavern jackets Making guitars out of tennis racquets And it's been getting so the hardest part Is trying to talk some sense into our sparkling hearts [Chorus] Ring ring ring goes the telephone Tell my little lambs that I ain't coming home Yes, yes, yes go the majorettes They lead the band on to the field with their cigarettes Bang bang bang, she's a cleaning freak She scrubs the surface until it's sparkling Neat neat neat until her fingers bleed She was giving off blue light on the first light that she came to me [Bridge] We're good guys but we can't be good every night We're good guys but can't be good our whole lives We're good guys but we can't be good every night We're good guys but can't be good our whole lives [Outro] She was giving off blue light on the first night that she came to me Father I have sinned, and I want to do it all again eventually
