We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
Stuck in the teenage waste
By a man she thought was fine, didn't tell anybody
Such a good, good story to tell
And it's you and me in the open air
Then getting drunk in the bushes by the road outside the K-Mart
We're not very far, we're not very far
Slip the acid on your tongue rooftop mall parkade

We never thought that we'd get caught up
As we explode, as we explode
We couldn't get enough
Just you and the universe judging each other
Or maybe back then we just thought that she was getting some
Vera's face burnt as a memory of bedroom fun

It's a fight, it's a fight and you finally belong
We're gonna go far, we're gonna go far
You fake, you fake, you fake, you fake
And it's wild and we never thought that we'd get caught up
It's truth or dare, we don't care

Stuck in the teenage waste
You smoke, you toke, you want, you flaunt
As we explode, as we let
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
Got a shiner now and it's more than a battle scar
With a lighter and some hairspray smoking in the girls' room
You hit it and you're in it and it's spinning

Rolling around in them to see if you would get prickled

More than a battle scar, such a good, good story to tell
As we explode, as we explode

Stuck in the teenage waste

Not worse than Shelley's rape behind the McDonald's
Now we look back and see that she didn't know how
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars

Then count the stars and the ten million woes
As we explode, as we let go
At lunch break, lunch break, lunch break, lunch break
As we explode, as we explode
You bully, you break, you bully, you break
Peso roda ginga joga
We never knew that we'd get caught up
We're counting the stars, we're counting the stars
