Prom Night At Hater High

The Long Winters

Sitting there where you buried your pets
Get up! We'll dig graves for your invisible friends
Now I can't stand to hear another thing explained
Your trip to Spain
Your childhood pain
So won't you quit talking down to your girlfriend
Oh, I see, you're not fighting, you're flirting
Well I hope it's exciting
These kids are my age it's strange to say
Look up! Every star is singing in space
But I am motionless on this tiny strip
My conscience is clean
I can see everything
Well, the girls meet to dish the dirt but it's them!
I heard their conversation it made me laugh
They talk about the magic man
Like they ever had him

Jet City won't let you go without a fight
You see the pod people on prom night
At Hater High
Don't stay up late to cry
You've got a big trip to plan
Say goodbye to your old friends
Say goodbye, goodbye Jet City

She showed up for our date five years late
She said you're so sexy and so great
Aren't you gonna show me where you sing your downtown song?
I said, â??Downtown's gone! Downtown's gone!â??
Now my only ties to that old scene
Are the same mean people in pre-owned jeans
I used to love them all
But they burned me up, goodbye.
