Goodnight, Miss Oliver

Lyrics

Graphic novels on the bed, someone sleeping in your lap You can't juggle so you confide the abilities you lack So you've told him where you've been and where you're going to You sketch out a picture of Billy Corgan and take off for a week or two Now, I know that you can't hide for too long You won't brush your hair and you hate to sleep alone But tonight? (Tonight, tonight) You've got instant messenger Goodnight Miss Oliver, where ever you may lie Since you got knocked up, I hope it's all going alright You can live vicariously through someone else Instead of taking off as soon as you can be yourself I remember the stories of what your father did And other tales that kept changing when you didn't like the end Your brother always seemed like a stand up guy But the rest of the saga was so fantastic, it had to be a lie A homeless little waif in elementary walls But anybody who looks like you can never be alone for long Goodnight Miss Oliver, where ever you may lie Since you got knocked up, I hope it's all going alright You can live vicariously through someone else Instead of taking off as soon as you can be yourself Goodnight Miss Oliver, on this cold Texas night A vegan bakery waits for you in the dawn's early light Take care Miss Oliver, and no matter what you do Be sure one day that your children can keep better track of you
