Skinned knees and gapped teeth


Was it a broken arm or collar bone?
It depended on the week
And me with my black eye 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 now 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
Bike passed out on top of me

Remember how I wore 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 of 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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
