RiptownThis kid's a computer that's been programmed to dreamHe stumbled to start but regained his speed He said, "My superpower is I say what I mean" And he's always in the red white and blue The lens cap was lost so they stretched out the shoot The second location, it stuck to her shoes She said, "Do me a favor, let me order for you? You should really try something different" Really funny running into you I love these tiny little collisions The kids on the corner aren't here for their health They're just trying to uphold the traditions Another Sunday night locked in the bathroom Obsessing over minor abrasions And some local legend let her pick up the check Then he hit her with his whole presentation Be careful of the second location The director's distracted, he's losing his light The actors are wrapped up in robes for the night Her sister went sideways, her mother was right These things tend to run in the family Really funny running into you I love these tiny little collisions She knows that her mother ain't right here to judge her But she tries not to date other actors A million tiny bugs at the breakdown And a second time that felt like the first The doctors kept saying trust the medication But when it hit she thought it might be a curse A couple quick visits to Riptown Another kid with his thumb in his belt loop He was pinned back in the booth But he tried to tell the truth He said, "I'd rather go with somebody new" Monday night locked in a hotel bathroom With your psyche dressed up for display And she's stranded at the moment With some hot glitchy robot He's giving her the whole play by play Another sick smile from the spotlight Another sketchy crucifixion tattoo I know it probably covers some hardline thunder All dressed up in the red white and blue You got to want to be rescued |
