But The NUNS Are Watching Lyrics

x2
Look! he drank straight from the faucet!
HOLY SHIT HE'S FUCKIN LOST IT!
We only enjoy fine sparkling water!
FED SOMETHING ADHESIVE TO YOUR DAUGHTER!

Called me old-fashioned,but I think trains kick ass!
I don't need hot wheels to get to class!

What the hell is wrong with him!?
HIS HIS HAIRS SO LONG IT NEEDS A TRIM!
I heard he packs a lot in those bloomers,
IT'S PROBABLY TRUE LIKE ALL THE OTHER RUMORS!

You think you're modern,
But that taste won't last (It just won't last)
And everything you own,
Will be (Will be)...
The fucking past. (the fucking past)

Cynicism save me.
Turn me around and march me back up the sidewalk to my
door.
Take me back inside and throw my trench-coat on the
floor.
Lead me back into my bedroom,
And make me put my cloths back on.

Grab the Mag-Lite, get the grappling hook,
Lets fine the bottom of this cave and close the book!

The salt on my lips is an enzyme,
That metabolizes reality,
To fuel these dirty delusions!
You're leading me to these CONCLUSIONS!
The organs exploding, IN MY TORSO!
Like a series of city blocks,
Giving in to a nuclear blast.

And now my pressure relief valve is activated;
Maybe I should stop holding my breath.
I'll prove it, Come sit next to me.
Tell me what you do at work;
You half-hearted intimacy.
We'll be like gay actors,
Over and out,,,
Having the kind of sex sacrificial virgins,
Fantasize about.

But if I knew your name it would have to be for
charity!
JUST TRY ME! TEST ME! RELEASE ME!

Cynicism reassure me that,
If we only had less clothing and better light.
It would all just be an embarrassing misunderstanding.
The sudden silences, aren't the crash,
Where lips should be.

If this were a contract i wouldn't sign.

hehe, nice little argument up there guys... now does anyone know what the song means, i thought, maybe, like a guy going crazy for love so much that he decides to have a one night stand..and then after he does it,realizes that it wasn't true love and then the end part "If this were a contract i wouldn't sign", basically saying that if he knew this whole situation was gonna happen he wouldn't have do it. i don't know, just my view...

He is basically a kid who is getting criticized. Look he drank stright from the faucen we only enjoy fine sparkling water" he is doing things wrong. samw with his hair needs a trim" and "probally true like all the other rumors!" he is getting critized and he fights back by saying Called me old-fashioned,but I think trains kick ass! I don't need hot wheels to get to class! You think you're modern, But that taste won't last (It just won't last) And everything you own, Will be (Will be)... The fucking past. (the fucking past) He is saying the way he does things work out best...

also when he says it everything you own will be the past it is a taunt.. he is sayin your buying all these nice things but it dun mean shit cause your going to stop using it soon which is why he thinks "trains kick ass" to him its not about whats in style but what gets the job done and will continue to get the job

To me, its kind of like someone being judged in a bad way by his looks and tries to prove that hes not what he looks likes. :l idk, seems wrong lol

this reminds me of DWP so much holy shit

i only skimmed over this, and from what i saw, to me it sounds like he was just having a one night stand, and when they had sex, it wasnt that great, so when he says "if this were a contract i wouldnt sign", he means he definitely wouldnt hit that again and would never consider a relationship wif the person just because the sex wasnt that great. just my interpretation.

'Cynicism save me Turn me around And march me back up the sidewalk To my door... Take me back inside and throw my trench-coat on the floor. Lead me back into my bedroom'

To me, its simply about being used for sex, and using people for sex.

One of my favourite ISMFOF songs

no no lol he it goes along with what i said up there ^ he is about to go to school but every one looks down on him so he goes back to his room and puts on "cooler" clothes
