lyrics

THE GREAT BOARDING SCHOOL IN THE SKY

I'M BACK
BACK WARTS AND ALL
I'M UP
I FACE FRONTWARDS
I'M SHORT
WITH THOSE THAT USED TO CALL ME TALL
WHO SAYS
THAT I AM NOT AS I ONCE WERE
WE GROW IN DREAMS, IT SEEMS
TO SHAKE AWAKE
YOU'RE COLD, AND OLD
BEFORE A WAR, AND TIRED

LOOK AT YOU
YOU'RE A WRECK
CAN YOU BE DUE
OUR NEW RESPECT?

I'M A NIGHT BOARDER
I KNOW THOUGH
HOW TO WATCH MY STUFF
AND I KNOW THE ORDER
WHERE THINGS GO
WHEN THEY'VE HAD ENOUGH
