Rocks with Holes

The rocks with holes are cold in her pocket

The clock controls the payroll in her rocket

Her eyeballs roll and roll in their sockets

Her teachers can't stand it- her teachers say "stop it"

She sticks to the topic- her parents say "drop it"

Running in circles is running around

Back and forth motion ain't traveling

Sinking infinitely into the sound

While everyone she knows is sleeping

She packs all her dreams in a glass elevator

Drops the remainder and says "see you later

I'm gonna get high and find me a skater"

She tries but, for some reason, no one will date her

She lies and gets mad and makes everyone hate her

Running in circles is running around

Back and forth motion ain't traveling

Sinking infinitely into the sound

While everyone she knows is sleeping

Is she misleading or is she misled?

Day after day she just stays in her bed

Tries to get up but lays down instead

Smiles to herself and says "I'm in the red!"

Her heart stops screaming and she knows she's dead

Running in circles is running around

Back and forth motion ain't traveling

Sinking infinitely into the sound

While everyone she knows is sleeping

Suddenly there are clouds all around and the clouds all around her are warm

She is so comfortable she never felt this way before

She says "I'm in heaven, I am certain, these aren't the clouds of a storm"

She opens her eyes to her doctor's surprise

And says "I don't want to be dead anymore"

She said "I don't want to be dead anymore"

Running in circles is running around

Back and forth motion ain't traveling

Sinking infinitely into the sound

While everyone she knows is sleeping

Maybe next year she'd get a guitar

Make up some songs and sing them in bars

The people might love her and call her a star

But she'd never know if she stayed in a hole

Encompassed by darkness and out of control

Running in circles is running around

Back and forth motion ain't traveling

Sinking infinitely into the sound

While everyone she knows is watching

Sinking infinitely into the sound

While everyone she knows is laughing

Sinking infinitely into the sound

While everyone she knows is clapping

Sinking infinitely into the sound

While everyone she knows is happy

Everyone she knows is happy

Everyone she knows is happy
