The Exploding Boy Lyrics
I couldn't hear a word you said
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
And I couldn't look back
Tell yourself we'll start again
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen
Not this way
Not today
I couldn't hear at all
You talked until your tongue fell out
And then you talked some more
I knew if I turned
I'd turn away from you
And I couldn't look back
Tell yourself it's not the end
Tell yourself it couldn't happen
Not this way
Not today

does this song haunt anyone else?
i like this cover of the cure's exploding boy. the keyboards lend the essence of the cure.
this song is poor.
I have yet to hear a poor Alkaline Trio song.
agreed super sapien
this song doesn't haunt me, but i really like it and i agree with you super sapien alkaline trio doesn't have one poor song, at least thats my opinion.
the intro to this song far surpasses the cure's...the bass is much faster and the organ really freaks me out. i think its a great cover of an awesome song.
I disagree whole heartedlly about that 'poor' statement, Pretty In Punk. Even if alkaline trio tried, they couldn't produce anything poor. Rock on, kids.
I do like the song, although I am saddened to admit that alkaline trio does in fact have a poor song . . . this is not it however. It's sleepyhead from maybe I'll catch fire.
this song wakes me in my dreams.
well not really, but it's completely rad, and the alkaline trio is one of the better bands these days. they are wonderful.
and i, too, have also never heard a bad alkaline trio song, and i doubt that i ever will.
