lyrics

I never got to meet the professor
who died and left me his books
handwritten notes stuffed in the margin
are all that is left of a seemingly eccentric man

I mean, I’m sure he had a family
but I can’t even recall his name
he was dead to me before I knew him
brought together by fate
or my mother’s decision
TURN OFF YOUR BRAIN

I’ll probably never meet the man
who changed my life at fourteen
and, really, that’s okay
‘cause all he could do is disappoint me
I don’t wanna think about his family
or the way my tongue rolled over his name
I was nothing to him like great scholars before
brought together by the magazines made for little girls
TURN OFF YOUR BRAIN

I’ll probably never get over what you did
Even though it was a million years ago
because I’ll never do that ever again
your place in my spine shall remain sacred
TURN OFF YOUR BRAIN

I’ll never get to know the girl
whose face is vaguely familiar
I guess I’m responsible
I participated, I was vulgar
I’ll never get to know that girl
‘cause she disappeared that night in the rain
you told me to just drive home
the cross broke off my sarcophagus, was it fate?

and the flowers grow from where he was buried
and you pluck them during the on-season
and the weeds grow from where our love was buried
i stomp them out 'cause salvation's a fairy
tale for the weak-minded
and that's why i'm a WASTE kid
