I talk to you every now and then I never felt so alone again I stop to think at a wishing well My thoughts send me on a carousel Here I am standing on my own Not a motion from the telephone I know not a reason why Solitude's a reason to die Just you wait and see (just you wait and see) As school life is a It is a woken dream Aren't you feeling alone? I guess its just another I guess its just another (I had sex with your mother) night alone Now as I walk down the street I need a job just to sleep in sheets Buying food every once in a while But not enough to purchase a smile A tank of gas is a treasure to me I know now that nothing is free I talk to you every now and then I never felt so alone again Just you wait and see (just you wait and see) As school life is a It is a woken dream Aren't you feeling alone? I guess its just another I guess its just another Night alone Thanks a lot you guys! Hey kids, it's Satan. Thanks a lot for coming on down to The show tonight. Hope you all had a great time. I know I did Those Blink fellas sure put on a kick ass show, huh. Hope to see You all at the after show party. I'm gonna start sucking dicks And squeezin' titties, maybe I can put my peepee in your mouth I love it when the kids come on over and I get, I have them suck And kiss my peepee tenderly and gently. I like it when the kids sit On my lap, and talk about unicorns and flowers and things like that Maybe I'll even suck their blood. See ya kids later! Hey, how you guys doin' up in the back? Now from the top balcony Can I get an Amen? Now from the floor, can I get a Hallelujah? Now from All these other assholes, can I get an oh yeah?
