Ron
and Nancy got the house but Sid and Nancy
rule
I died 8 years ago I'm still a legend at
my high school
I stole a Chevy and I wrapped
it round a tree
But that's OK cause no one's
gonna make the next century
I'm up in heaven
now they say I'm here to stay
Where the clouds
are really puffy and the angels sing every
day
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia, Wo-oh . .
.

The cafeteria's got everything it's
gonna drive me mad
Cause it looks just like a
big Hawaiian party that my mother had
It's
like the worst Elvis film I've ever
seen
Technicolor luau all on technicolor
green
There's camping trips and donkey rides
and singing round the fire
And they signed me
up for surfing 
But they can't get me in the
choir 
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia, Wo-oh . .
.

But there she was this morning getting
fitted for her wings
Leather boots magenta
hair and saying nasty things
I'd say she was
an angel but it's stupid and it's obvious
I
said you'll hate it here cause we're the only
ones like us
It's crypto-fascist mania it's
silicon deliria
Yeah, she said, you're right,
but I like the cafeteria
. . . . . . . . . . .
.

Hey God we're the bad kids we're so nasty
mean and vile
God looks like a guidance
counselor God's got that smile
God says, how
could this be, that's really odd
I guess I'll
have to check my records, silly me, you know, I'm
only
God . . .
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
.

The waves are perfect and the sun will
always shine
But there's got to be more to
death than surfing all the time
I know the
signs of self-destruction so I try to stop each
new kid
Don't be like me, forever young,
forever stupid
Yeah, I found love here but
I'll bet you'll find it there
Where they don't
always make the same joke
Gee you make a
heavenly pair
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia Alleluia
Alleluia
Alleluia
