lyrics

Floating in my moon boots, introduce you to the goon crew who dump bodies in spaceship trash chutes.

The first day of classes passed without incident, guess they went ahead and waited for a Tuesday afternoon after school to launch their first attack: an ice-filled snowball in the back.

Smacked you around for an hour. You think about how they’re born from broken homes and testosterone...

So dad comes home from the night shift, sees the blood and the bruises and the front teeth all chipped, shows you how to make a fist, outwit, be the swiftest, use the shadows, plot a new way home, bone up on the martial arts, start now, board the spaceship, and train with…

Anti-gravity moon boots, gather up the goon crew who dump bodies in spaceship trash chutes.

And it's Payback like Gibson or Revenge of the Nerds or Bart the General. My Millennium Falcon shooting lasers at the dudes on the ground. My moon boots stomping faces, teeth pop out all over the fuckin' place and pile up on the street like snowflakes. Then I’m gone like hot cakes out to outer space where girls don’t make weird faces when you ask them out on dates, and where dogs don’t run away, where parents stay married and the food fills up your whole fuckin' plate, where you can play any time, night or day, but wait... Are there even any days in outer space?

Playing with my moon boots, and imaginary space goons who dump bodies in spaceship trash chutes.
