Aopen up the dC#oor
lay the oDrange juice on the fAloor
we're having a G#picnic on the Dugly part of tAown 
the sleeping bags on fire
and its getting down to the wire
so grab a sofa spot and settle down awhile 
cause its getting hard to think
and my clothes are starting to shrink
and the moon is sagging down like a metal ball
and the world is a holiday
smoking in an old ashtray
they just blow it out their nose and say ok
so lets try to make this last
the past is still the past
and tomorrow is just another crazy scam
(repeat first verse)

we're having a picnic on the ugly part of town

the sleeping bags on fire

and its getting down to the wire

so grab a sofa spot and settle down awhile

cause its getting hard to think

and my clothes are starting to shrink

and the moon is sagging down like a metal ball

and the world is a holiday

smoking in an old ashtray

they just blow it out their nose and say ok

so lets try to make this last

the past is still the past

and tomorrow is just another crazy scam
