Suicide Squeeze

I went to see the new PTA
And I wept as I watched them kiss outside the arcade
I'm tired of being sick of everything I see
When you have no love to give and no love to receive
There's Nothing as brave as surrendering

And you learn how to live
As if you're someone to love
Run through the streets like your best is enough
The Licorice queens
And Their pinball machines
Will bring you on home
Like a suicide squeeze

As a kid I wanted to be a movie star
Oh how it must feel when the whole town knows who you are
I cant say I was ever really afraid of the dark
But I gambled it all for love and boy I got the part
And now I'm scared to death of living with this hole in my heart

And you learn how to live
As if you're someone to love
Run through the streets like your best is enough
The Licorice queens
And Their pinball machines
Will bring you on home
Like a suicide squeeze

The funniest things can remind you to keep hangin on
As I watch the infinite madness run up my arm
When you're just 17 you have so much left to see
But all I wanted was more

And you learn how to live
As if you're someone to love
Run through the streets like your best is enough
The Licorice queens
And Their pinball machines
Will bring you on home
Like a suicide squeeze
