Seventh Grade Dance

[Verse 1]

Walking on down to the seventh grade dance

And I don't know what we're going there for

No one's going to talk to us, we'll look really silly

Just staring at the gymnasium floor

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I'll wrestle the beat with my two left feet

They'll point and they'll stare at what my mom made me wear

Tomorrow I'll wake up crying and smiling

[Chorus 1]

Just another day in the suburbs

Where behind every cloud

There's a big ball of burning sunshine

[Verse 2]

Hitching a ride to the high school dance

And I don't know what we're going there for

The girls are so pretty in their shopping mall fashions

And we're so invisible to them

[Pre-Chorus 2]

But I feel like I'm in some John Hughes film

Like a dream we've all had where you can't run too fast

Tomorrow we'll wake up crying and smiling

[Chorus 2]

It's just another day in the suburbs

Where behind every cloud

There's a big ball of burning sunshine

Sometimes

[Chorus 2]

It's just another day in the suburbs

Where behind every cloud

There's a big ball of burning sunshine

Sometimes

[Verse 3]

Driving on up to the Hollywood party

I don’t know what I'm going there for

There's too many fools and too many rules and dress codes

And I'm one too many people there

[Pre-Chorus 3]

They'll shake hands and grin, sharing 8x10s

They'll point and they'll laugh at my photograph

Tomorrow they'll wake up crying and smiling

I'll be crying and smiling

[Chorus 2]

It's just another day in the suburbs

Where behind every cloud

There's a big ball of burning sunshine

Sometimes

[Chorus 3]

Another lovely day in the suburbs

Where behind every cloud

There's a big ball of burning sunshine

Sometimes
