I’m a-walkin’ in the rain  
Tears are fallin’, and I feel the pain  
A-wishin’ you were here by me  
To end this misery

And I wonder  
I wah-wah-wah-wah-wonder  
Why  
Why, why, why, why, why  
She ran away  
And I wonder  
Where she will stay-ay  
My little runaway  
A-run, run, run, run, runaway

Each night I ask the stars up above,  
Why must I be a teenager in love?

</div>

Let’s go all, the way tonight no regrets  
Just love, we can dance until we die  
You and I, we’ll be young forever

You make me, feel like I’m living a  
Teenage dream, the way you turn me on  
I can’t sleep, let’s runaway and  
Don’t ever look back, don’t ever look back

This love we’re contemplating  
Is worth the pain of waiting  
We’ll only end up hating  
The child we may be creating

</div>

A sudden voltage in the night, with a rainforest girl  
As we float downstream to the Amazon River  
Where the black waters swirl  
I say, why are you people wearing those masks?  
I say, can we be reconciled?  
She says the mother of the storm has to roam the sky  
Searching for her child

I’ll dream I’m safe  
In my hotel womb  
Soft and soul made  
It’s a wonderful room  
I wish I’m back  
In my hotel womb  
Slip through the crack  
To that wonderful room

Morning comes at last, and she’s lying by my side  
She’s got the face of the widow that keeps following me  
And the body of my bride  
I say, why are those buildings swaying like trees?  
I say, can we stop for a while?  
She says, can’t you hear the city that’s hidden in there?  
It’s just another mile

[Chorus]

I’ve miles and miles of files,  
Pretty files, of your forefather’s fruit.  
And now to suit our great computer,  
You’re magnetic ink.

</div>

The source code is always cleaner on somebody else’s drive.  
You dream about each new upgrade, without which you must survive.  
You’re not a registered user, you’re more of a pirate bold,  
You got no support or manuals for software that’s four years old.

On the PC, on the PC,  
There is no viler shell or compiler than one that’s free,  
If you want to ease your awful pain,  
Then you got to stick with public domain,  
But bootleg the disk and  
You’re living risky  
On the PC.

I hate my frickin I.S.P,  
The domain name lookup takes eternity,  
And I’ll never get back, never get back,  
The time that I waste,  
That’s what I hate

No, no, no, no, I don’t smoke it no more,  
I’m tired of waking up on the floor.  
No, thank you please, it only makes me sneeze,  
And then it makes it hard to find the door.

[When Jack sings a song, he makes it his own.]

Well-a, since my baby left me,  
I found a new place to dwell,  
Down at the end of lonely street  
At Heartbreak Hotel,  
Where I’ll be so lonely, baby,  
I’ll be so lonely, baby,  
I’ll be so lonely I could die.

And you’ll do just what you choose to do  
And I will be alone again tonight my dear
