Seventh Grade Dance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Walking on down to the seventh grade dance And I don't know what we're going there for No one's going to talk to us, we'll look really silly Just staring at the gymnasium floor [Pre-Chorus 1] I'll wrestle the beat with my two left feet They'll point and they'll stare at what my mom made me wear Tomorrow I'll wake up crying and smiling [Chorus 1] Just another day in the suburbs Where behind every cloud There's a big ball of burning sunshine [Verse 2] Hitching a ride to the high school dance And I don't know what we're going there for The girls are so pretty in their shopping mall fashions And we're so invisible to them [Pre-Chorus 2] But I feel like I'm in some John Hughes film Like a dream we've all had where you can't run too fast Tomorrow we'll wake up crying and smiling [Chorus 2] It's just another day in the suburbs Where behind every cloud There's a big ball of burning sunshine Sometimes [Chorus 2] It's just another day in the suburbs Where behind every cloud There's a big ball of burning sunshine Sometimes [Verse 3] Driving on up to the Hollywood party I don't know what I'm going there for There's too many fools and too many rules and dress codes And I'm one too many people there [Pre-Chorus 3] They'll shake hands and grin, sharing 8x10s They'll point and they'll laugh at my photograph Tomorrow they'll wake up crying and smiling I'll be crying and smiling [Chorus 2] It's just another day in the suburbs Where behind every cloud There's a big ball of burning sunshine Sometimes [Chorus 3] Another lovely day in the suburbs Where behind every cloud There's a big ball of burning sunshine Sometimes
