Seventh Grade Dance

Walking on down to the seventh grade dance

And I don't know what we're going there for

No one's gonna talk to us, we'll look really silly

Just staring at the gymnasium floor

I'll wrestle the beat with my two left feet

They'll point at mistake

At what my mom made me wear

Tomorrow I'll wake up crying and smiling

Just another day in the suburbs

Where behind every cloud there's a big ball of burning sunshine

Hitch you ride into 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

But I feel like I'm in some John Hughes film

Like a dream we all had

When you can't run too fast

Tomorrow we'll wake up crying and smiling

It's just another day in the suburbs

Where behind every cloud there's a big ball of burning sunshine, sometimes

It's just another day in the suburbs

Where behind every cloud there's a big ball of burning sunshine, sometimes

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

They'll point and they'll laugh at my photograph

Tomorrow they'll wake up crying and smiling

I'll be crying and smiling

It's just another day in the suburbs

Where behind every cloud there's a big ball of burning sunshine, sometimes

Another lovely day in the suburbs

Where behind every cloud there's a big ball of burning sunshine, sometimes
