Swingin' Utters - Heaven At Seventeen lyrics

You reached for heaven at seventeen And caught the clap from some teenage queen Took some tablets, hit it again and that's all right Sometimes you took the stacked deck too far Some say you took it all way too hard The mediocrity in moderation was way too tight Did you ever stop to think of what was real? Did you compromise your time just to cop a feel? Sometimes you think that the time flew by Some twenty years ago come July You're getting older but not so wise And that's all right You go for words that you cannot reach Spew antiseptic allegories a walking diuretic of dictionary rhymes Don't you even know your dreams are not for real Don't you ever find it hard to forge what you feel Just quit your b**hing and confess the time of your life just came and went you're gonna drown in shallowness in the empty sea of frat boys and dunces You reached for Heaven at seventeen and caught the clap from some teenage queen woke up from your suburban daydream opened your eyes
