Joan of Arkansas - I Was a Teenage Teenager

Copied!

Born with these horns
My crown of thorns
Came up with comebacks too slow

Forever freshman year
Blood-dripping ear
Feel just like Vincent Van Gogh

All eyes, all eyes, all eyes
On me
They see, they see, they see
The freak
Do I wear the mask or is it
Wearing me?

I was a teenage teenager
Drive-in double creature feature
Of the week
Falling in love
I always do it
Awkwardly

In these shadows
With my secondhand clothes
I'll take thе bus home tonight
Your number's on my wall
I'll nevеr text or call
But what I wouldn't give for a bite

All eyes, all eyes, all eyes
On me
They see, they see, they see
The freak
Do I wear the mask or is it
Wearing me?

I was a teenage teenager
Drive-in double creature feature
Of the week
Falling in love
I always do it
Awkwardly
