  6520>Stand up, sit down baby
  Gonna be a formal dress down, hey day
  We decide, why not go downtown
  How about you and me, we go get wasted
 
 
  You'll have, you'll have to excuse me
  Please, please, please excuse me
  You'll have, you'll have to excuse me
  This will be my first time
 
 
  By definition from grade school to English 30
  We quietly become strong so early
  Take it or leave it
  They can't believe it
 
 
  They go from kindergarten to killing sprees
  They go from heartache to inner peace
  100 foot ceilings, 100 percent deceit
  He said, let's leave this between you and me
 
 
  My cats watch my stuff, leave my house
  Between you and me the cat burglars are
  What did you see, what did you steal
  Tell me baby, how does it feel
  Yeah, yeah feel
 
 
  It's a top ten list of things that move me the most
  A top ten list of things that bother me most
  A top ten list of things that scare me the most
  I'd have to say that the future
 
 
  Wasting time in the fast food line
  I decide to walk the fine line
  And celebrate life, celebrate death
  I choose to celebrate the first
  I celebrate the first
 
 
  We decide to go out walking
  The whole time that we're talking
  Convinced that we're living
  Whole time that we're dying
 
 
  We decide to go out walking
  Whole time that you're talking
  Convinced that you're living
  Whole time that I'm dying
 
 
  Keeps me on my toes, where did the time go?
  You keep me on my toes, where did the time go?
 
 
  On the edge of town where the gravel's thin
  They're gonna wear you down
  Until you're thin and tired, tired, tired
 
 
  Of wasting time in the fast food line
  I decide to walk the fine line
  And celebrate life, celebrate death
  I choose to celebrate
 
 
  The first to come, the first to go
  The first to say yes, the first to say no
  I'm gonna seize this moment
 
 
  The first to come, the first to go
  The first to say yes, the first to say no
 
 
  We decide to go out walking
  The whole time that we're talking
  Convinced that we're living
  Whole time that we're dying
 
 
  Keeps me on my toes, where did the time go?
  Keeps me on my toes where did the time go?
  Keeps me on my toes where did the time go?
 
 
  You keep me on my toes
  You keep me on my toes
