Pretty Girl, Did you miss me
Pretty Girl, Did you miss me
Pretty Girl, did you like it when you kissed me,
tell me tell me cuz I can't sleep tell me tell me cuz I can't sleep, tell me tell me cuz...
I went swimming, I jumped in the water, it was colder than I wanted, or I had thought it to be, but you jumped in before me hey! you jumped in before me hey!
We climbed we climbed to the top of the Sycamore tree,
We swung and jumped, with a rope in between, we made a splash, we had a laugh, we climbed to land and dried each other off!
Pretty Girl, will you miss me?
Pretty Girl, are you listening
Pretty Girl, did you like it when you kissed me, tell me tell cuz I can't sleep, tell me tell me cuz, tell me tell me cuz.
solo
Next in line, take a number
everything's fine, another summer passes by, another summer passes by, another summer passes by, another summer passes by
Pretty Girl, Will you miss me, Pretty Girl, will you miss me?
Pretty Girl, did you like it when you kissed me, tell me tell me cuz I can't sleep, tell me tell me cuz I can't sleeeeeep.

Do you find this a little relaxing
or do you find it somewhat taxing
do you feel just a little bit used
never the winner why do you lose
Myra sleeps, Mary weeps, Myra screams, and Mary dreams
is it good enough
is it good enough for you
is it good enough
is it good enough for you
where did i go wrong
where did i go wrong
where did i where did where did i go wrong
I'm going home, where there's no way back
thanks for the memories and the times we had
don't follow me, there's a million other paths
don't be haunted, by the ghost from your past
Is this world just a little too real?
Never the winner what is the deal
do you think its just some stupid game?
watch me rise and witness your grave.
Myra sleeps, Mary weeps, Myra screams, and Mary dreams
is it good enough
is it good enough for you
is it good enough
is it good enough for you
where did i go wrong
where did i go wrong
where did i where did where did i go wrong
I'm going home, where there's no way back
thanks for the memories and the times we had
don't follow me, there's a million other paths
don't be haunted, by the ghost from your past
Myra sleeps, Mary weeps, Myra screams, and Mary dreams

I may appear calm on the outside tonight
my blood is boiling underneath my skin, that's right
i may be angry, when you look deep within
my mind is dirty, and my body is sin
Have you seen, my friend, Abraham
i haven't see him since God only knows when
when you see him, send him a shout,
tell him i'm on the t.v.
when you see him, send him a shout,
a shout from the Meek!
have you see my brother Bryan, somewhere along the coast
everything wasn't fine i know and somehow we both got lost
I need him to play the lead, while I rhythm and sing
tell him not to worry, in time of course he'll have everything
I may be crude to you when I speak out of turn
I may be rude to you when I see something you should learn
My mind is empty in between my thoughts
my body paralyzed and covered with , lime salt
Have you seen, my friend, Abraham
i haven't see him since God only knows when
when you see him, send him a shout,
tell him i'm on the t.v.
when you see him, send him a shout,
a shout from the Meek!
have you see my brother Bryan, somewhere along the coast
everything wasn't fine i know and somehow we both got lost
I need him to play the lead, while I rhythm and sing
tell him not to worry, in time of course he'll have everything

Wake up, At 6, couldn't find the keys in the kitchen
then smoke, fresh green, flip on the television
get the paper, what's to read, blood and teeth, in the streets, cuz its
a vampire summer! Civilian deaths on the rise mmmm hmmm
won't be long for winter, that's when, everybody dies.
so, don't run, but don't walk, see them gathering in the corners after dark, cuz its a vampire summer and civilian deaths deaths deaths, be on the rise
won't be long 'for winter, that's when everybody everybody dies.
la la da la da da da da
la da da da da da da da du da
la da da da da da da da
la da da da da du da da
No-one lives above me, no-one below and no-one underneath
no-one hears my songs reads my books or knows the secrets that i keep
been around, been around 800 years alone
i collect at the coroners, and i leave, just before dawn.
cuz its a vampire summer, civilian deaths on the rise mmm hmmm
won't be long 'for winter, that's when everybody dies
so, don't run, but don't walk, see them gathering in the coroners after dark, cuz its a vampire summer and civilian deaths be on the rise
won't be long 'for winter that's when everybody dies
