I felt the pressure but, I passed it off
I heard your glockenspiel pounding soft
I climbed on top of you, you said get off
Must this drag on forever

I tripped and stumbled in the dead of night
Flashing my endless stream of kryptonite
I lit my brain with rainbow crystal light
Must this drag on forever?

Then things got so quiet
Like I should not be here
You said I had to try it
Don't let me interfere
Just get me out of here

Your waxy face is melting on your lap
I sat there trying to crush a ginger snap
Your scream was sounding like a thunderclap
Must this drag on forever

Your coconut windows hid the light so well
Your testimony put me in a spell
You look so wasted that I could not tell
Must this drag on forever

Then things got too quiet
Like I should not be here
You said I had to try it
Don't let me interfere
Please help me out of here

Must this drag on forever?
Must this drag on forever?
Must this drag on forever?
Must this drag on forever?
