The Tearjerker

I was always the tearjerker at school

Tried to teach other pupils ethic rules

And then went home to weep on mama′s lap

In case some kid had tried to hit me back

I was defenseless against those geeks with tongues in cheek

I've been through avant garde poetry and red stars

And then went into expensive clothes and inner-city bars

But I felt trapped between those different parts

I didn′t know how and where to reach my heart

Except when I saw a tearjerker on TV

Now you might meet me when I'm out on the town late

And you feel pointless and hopelessly out of date

I wag my hips to any groovy bass

And blink an eye at any facelift face

But I'm the tearjerker when I face the floor

Hard to start anew with things so worn in

Hard to run away from things so worn out
