once there was this kid who
got into an accident and couldn't come to school but
when he finally came back
his hair had turned from black into bright white
he said that it was from when the cars had smashed so hard

:/: mm mm mm mm • mm mm mm mm :/:

once there was this girl who
wouldn't go and change with the girls in the change room
and when they finally made her
they saw birthmarks all over her body
she couldn't quite explain it : they'd always just been there

:/: mm mm mm mm • mm mm mm mm :/:

but both girl and boy were glad
that one kid had it worse than that

once there was this boy whose
parents made him come directly home right after school
and when they went to their church
they shook and lurched all over the church floor
he couldn't quite explain it : they'd always just gone there
