Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If it's a temporary lull
Why am I bored right outta my skull?
Man, I'm dressin' sharp and feelin' dull
[Verse 2]
Lonely, I guess that's where I'm from
If I was from Canada
Then I'd best be called lonesome
[Chorus]
And if it's just a game
Then I'll break down just in case
Hurry up (Hurry up)
We're runnin' in our last race
[Verse 3]
Well, I laughed half the way to Tokyo
I dreamt I was Surfer Joe
And what that means, I don't know
[Verse 4]
A dream too tired to come true
Left a rebel without a clue
And I'm searching for somethin' to do
[Chorus]
If it's just a game
Then we'll hold hands just the same
So what? (So what?)
We're bleeding but we ain't cut
[Chorus]
And I could purge my soul, perhaps
For the imminent collapse
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
I'll tell you what we could do
You be me for a while
I'll be you
Oh yeah
[Verse 5]
A dream too tired to get to
Left a rebel without a clue
Won't you tell me what I should do?
[Chorus]
Oh, if it's just a lull
Why am I bored right outta my skull?
Oh yeah, yeah (Oh yeah)
Oh, keep me from feeling so dull
[Chorus]
And if it's just a game
Then we'll break down just in case
Then again, I'll tell you what we could do
You be me for a while
You be me for a while
And I'll be you
Hey!
