Skinned Knees & Gapped Teeth - Dear and the Headlights

Was it a broken arm or collar bone?

It depended on the week

And me with my black eyes stitched from head to feet

Uncomfortably happy

All skinned knees and gapped teeth

Remember summers with the speak-n-spell

Trying to make the robot cuss

If mother knew the words we used while she worked

She would be fuming

Cause that’s not how she raised me

And when you taped over a good half of the wedding tape

I bet you never thought Thundercats could ever make you cry

You sat in disbelief

As Lion-O made plans to slay the whole wedding party

They’re disco dancing to their death

Oh Ma, you just don’t know it yet

And all my hand-me-downs are stuck to me

From all the blood I couldn’t keep

Oh, such a likely scene

10 year old body face down on Rosall Street

My bike passed out on top of me

Remember how I swore I would

Pass you up in age

You just scoffed at me

Well I’m still gonna do it

Just haven’t quite figured out how yet

We cornered Teddy Ruxpin and smashed his story tape

And put Guns N’Roses in

And watched him sing along to Appetite for Destruction

Yeah, he knew every word

I’m dying in the hall laughing

Oh John, you gotta turn it off

And when you taped over a good half of the wedding tape

I know you never thought Thundercats would ever be the end

You sat in disbelief

As Lion-O made plans to slay the whole wedding party

Oh John, you gotta turn it off
