Lyrics

A knock on the door, yeah, it's early morning
The man in the suit says he wants to talk to me
About the big JC, but who the fuck is he?
He reaches in and, yeah, takes out a bible
Says he was a man just like you and me
Oh, whoopee dee
I don't like his suit and I don't like his tie
And I don't like the fact he's so happy
He can't be for me, the big JC
Sometimes the wheels fall off
And sometimes you can't get up
And sometimes I just sit and think
And I don't talk much
Sometimes the world moves fast
And sometimes you can't keep up
And sometimes I just sit and think
And I don't think much
No, I don't think much
No, I don't think much
The boy on the pavement, yeah, he's looking the picture
He looks like the '80s, so why'd it happen to me?
Twice in a lifetime now
Twice in a lifetime, oh
Teenage years trying not to look like somebody like him
But what can I do?
Shoulder pads and belts
Morten Harket in tights
Oh, I'm sorry, they're jeans
But how'd you get them on?
And will they ever come off?
Will they ever come off?
Sometimes the wheels fall off
And sometimes you can't get up
And sometimes I just sit and think
And I don't talk much
Sometimes the world moves fast
And sometimes you can't keep up
And sometimes I just sit and think
And I don't think much
No, I don't think much
No, I don't think much
A knock on the door, yeah, it's early evening
This dangerous day, he's come to break my house
'Cause he's a dangerous sod
But I like him a lot
And we talk about music and we talk about friends
Before we realize that we don't know much about either of them
And that's the way things are
Between Dave and me
Shoulder pads and belts
Morten Harket in tights
Oh, I'm sorry, they're jeans
But how'd you get them on?
And will they ever come off?
Will they ever come off?
Sometimes the world moves fast
And sometimes you can't get up
And sometimes I just sit and think
And I don't talk much
Sometimes the wheels fall off
And sometimes you can't get up
And sometimes I just sit and think
But I don't think much
No, I don't think much
No, I don't think much
No, I don't think much
No, I don't think much
