Lyrics

SICK FEELING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LEGS
A FROZEN PORPOISE IN A FRESHWATER LAKE
MY HEAD IS HUMMING, MY HANDS ON THE MAKE
GUY LAFLEUR REALLY KNEW HOW TO SKATE

I'VE BEEN UP
FOR TOO DAMNED LONG
I JUST HEARD
THE PAPER COME
ALL NIGHT LONG
ALL NIGHT LONG

MET A TALLBOY ON THE WAY TO THE BEACH
SEVEN SECOND, AND THEN INTO THE BREACH
TIME IS FLYING IN UTERO AND BLEACH
MAURICE, YOU MAKE ME SICK WHEN YOU SPEAK

I'VE BEEN UP
FOR TOO DAMNED LONG
I JUST HEARD
THE PAPER COME
ALL NIGHT LONG
ALL NIGHT LONG
