Science wears a new suit
To his coffee toast and eggs
But he has to skip the stairs now
'Cause of two broken legsWhine whine "I cannot climb"
Everytime's the same
I'd be more inclined to help him
If he could remember my nameAnd you're sad and you're sorry
Well let it all out.
What are you running for?
This is your chance!
Be ready?
I'm taking my seat
Oh lucky meFaith can't fill the dance hall
'Cause her powers have declined
But at the beauty pageant
She will always take the prizeLight, light Easter white
Roll her in the dirt
When it comes time for kneeling
She'll say "You go first"And you're sad and you're sorry
Well let it all out.
What are you running for?
This is your chance!
Be ready?
I'm taking my seat
Oh lucky meLa la la la la laA wise men once tried to tell me
How to sugar-coat the grave
But the game is for the adults
And I don't know how to playO where will I go?
Toss me out to sea
When the jar's all out of candy
Don't come blaming meAnd you're sad and you're sorry
Well let it all out.
What are you running for?
This is your chance!
Be ready?
I'm taking my seatO You're sad and you're sorry
Well let it all out.
What are you running for?
Tell the whole world!
We're waiting.
I'm taking my seat
Oh lucky meLa la la la
