Lyrics
[Verse 1] Tragic youth was looking young and sexy The tragic youth was wearing tattered black jeans Bearing arms and flaunting all her mischief The tragic youth was going down on me [Pre-Chorus] And I swear Woohoo Yes, I swear [Chorus] I built a wall of sound to separate us I hid among the junk of wretched highs I sped from Planet X to Planet Alpha Struggling for reality [Post-Chorus] Hahahaha Woohoo Hahahaha Woohoo [Verse 2] Hey, now my sight is failing in this twilight Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da Now my death is more than just a sad song Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da [Pre-Chorus] And I swear Woohoo Yes, I swear Woohoo [Chorus] I still don't remember how this happened I still don't get the wherefores and the whys I look for sense but I get next to nothing Hey boy, welcome to reality [Post-Chorus] Hahahaha Woohoo [Bridge] I've been right and I've been wrong Now I'm back where I started from Never looked over reality's shoulder [Post-Chorus] Hahahaha Hahahaha Woohoo Hahaha (Woo) Woohoo Woo
