teacher showed up to learn
he said my lessons have all burned
the fire started in my head
and left my pockets full of lead
he kicked a widget with his shoes
it also left me with the blues
i meant to set this classroom free
illuminate what none could see
lalalalala
release myself to someone else
lalalalala
now im free so you teach me
teacher showed up to learn
beneath his arm a potted fern
i introduce you all to fred
whos from an old dry river bed
we thought the teacher was a freak
its then that fred began to speak
he said the words we could not say
and made us ancient in a day
la la la la la
the naked eyes a little shy
lalalalala
your senses fight to put you right
a la la la la
la la la la la
he kicked a walnut with his shoes
it also left me with the blues
i meant to set this classroom free
illuminate what none could see
la la la la la
the moral heres a bit unclear
la la la la la
stay awake stay awake
la la la la la
la la la la la
