In lipstick and knee highs and a mini skirt, yeah, I was sulking when I saw you there. You stood up. You walked out. You knocked me out with your brown eyes, yeah, and your jet-black hair. Went uptown, went downtown, went everywhere and when I found you you were getting lost. I teased you. I told you, I said I'd call. You didn't notice I had my fingers crossed. You're so much better than me. That's half the tragedy, yeah, 'cuz now I'm getting bored. The chase is such a chore. You found me with flowers and candy. You said this fever, oh yeah, it's getting worse. Your head hurts. Your heart stops. Your body aches. You thought you'd better call the doctor's nurse. You claim you never see me. That's just my policy, yeah, for when I'm getting bored. The chase is (the chase is), it's such a chore.

Tell me the rest of your lies. We know they aren't true. Tell me the rest of your lies. But we'll pretend for you. Tell me the rest of your lies. You think you're tough and mean. Tell me the rest of your lies. You're such a drama queen. We know your sores refuse to heal but sew them up and fucking deal. Yeah, you ask me why I wanna go. Well, do you really wanna know? Do you wanna hear me say, "Teen angst, yeah, it's fucking overplayed"? You're high or low. There's no in between. My purse is full of lipstick, yeah, lipstick and Dramamine. I wish there was some other way. Maybe they'll find a curse someday if it's true what they say: truth serum, yeah, to make you go away.

I can be fun when I'm given the chance then I went to another school dance where everything was cool when the zombies first arrived. Somebody said that he wanted to stay but then they came in, came in and they took him away (oh, yeah). So many things that I wanted to say if it's a bubblegum crisis, yeah, I think I like it that way. Hey, ask me to dance. Yeah, yeah, take a chance. I'm so bored and it's just gone on too long. Somebody said that he wanted to stay but then they came in, came in and they took him away. All the things I was dying to say became a bubblegum crisis and it's less boring that way. Somebody said I had nothing to lose. I left the boy with a vampire bruise and I burned down my school with a pack of cigarettes. Oh, yeah.

The Chase - Eskimo Pie

I used to think about all the places I really wanted to go. That's great 'cuz now those places are buried under 30 miles of snow. I used to think about all the things you wanted me to do. I used to think about them now I build them up to throw them back at you. I wanna be down by the sea where I can make up my mind. I wanna be, down by the sea. Think about it more all the time. I used to think about you and I used to think you were the sweetest guy but now I'm older I know, you're much colder than an eskimo pie. I used to think about all the things you wanted me to say. I used to think about them now I build them up to throw them back one day. I wanna be down by the sea where I can make up my mind. I wanna be, down by the sea. Think about it more all the time.
