Once More With Feeling - Local Hero

Thin-skinned kids with their fresh popped collars

And the white boys who think they’re black

Are throwing fits and a fistful of dollars

Just to try and get the inside track

And it was all plug-in heaters and faded wife beaters

Give me some sugar, and shots across the water

Drunk and sensationalized, I don’t know what to do

Bare legs on winter nights, and the morning split in two.

Ornamental girls and the two-second scramble

When the cameras are loaded and primed

Bit bottom lips and the too hot to handle

They are sweating under yellow lights

And there were bottles in paper and shouts to the neighbors

Linked arms and nose rings and Once More With Feeling

Drunk and sensationalized, I don’t know what to do

Bare legs on winter nights, and the morning split in two

Laugh just to break the ice, and the weapons that you used

Long swords and bitter knives, all your friends that you cut into.

You know he’s got eyes for you

Why didn’t you tell him you were mine

Why didn’t you tell him you were mine

Oh, I thought you were mine…

Drunk and sensationalized, I don’t know what to do

Bare legs on winter nights, and the morning split in two

Laugh just to break the ice, and the weapons that you used

Long swords and bitter knives, tell your friends that you’re feeling blue.
