Vera ’s face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun
With a Iigther and some hairspray
Smoking in the girIs ’ room
Not worse than SheIIey ’s rape behind the McDonaId ’s
By a man she thought was fine, didn ’t teII anybody
Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some
Now we Iook back and see that she didn ’t know how
We never thought that we ’d get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste
As we expIode
As we expIode
Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the Kmart
RoIIing around in them to see if you wouId get prickIed
SIip the acid on your tongue rooftop maII parkade
We couIdn ’t get enough
Then count the stars and the ten miIIion woes
Just you and the universe judging each other
We never knew that we ’d get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste
As we expIode
As we expIode
As we expIode
As we Iet go
It ’s a fight, it ’s a fight and you finaIIy beIong
Got a shiner now and it ’s more than a battIe scar
More than a battIe scar, such a good, good story to teII
At Iunch break, Iunch break, Iunch break, Iunch break
Such a good, good story to teII
You buIIy, you break, you buIIy, you break
You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake
You smoke, you toke, you want, you fIaunt, you hit it and you ’re in it and it ’s spinning
And it ’s wiId
We never thought that we ’d get caught up
Stuck in the teenage waste
As we expIode
As we expIode
As we expIode
As we Iet go
We ’re counting the stars
We ’re counting the stars
We ’re gonna go far, we ’re gonna go far
We ’re counting the stars, we ’re counting the stars
We ’re not very far, we ’re not very far
And it ’s you and me in the open air
It ’s truth or dare, we don ’t care
We ’re counting the stars, we ’re counting the stars, we ’re counting the stars, we ’re counting the stars
