Barenaked Ladies - Pinch Me (Album Version)

Track 3 from the 2000 BNL album, Maroon.

Lyrics:

It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk, but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside

It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon.

It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Take your time cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for

Pinch Me
Pinch Me
Cause I'm still asleep
Please God
Tell Me
That I'm still asleep

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I Packed a car and leave this town
Who'll notice that I'm not around?
I could hide out under there
I just made you say 'underwear'
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway

It's like a dream - you try to remember but it's gone, then ya
Try to scream but it only comes out as a yawn, when ya
Try to see the world beyond your front door

Take your time cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smile, when ya
Realise that with a guy my size it might take a while, just to
Try to figure out what all this is for
Try to figure out what all this is for
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Try to figure out what all this is for

[OmalleyDoc]

Jesus P. Fucking Christ dude, shut your fucking mouth you annoying little faggot piece of shit. I'm so god damned sick of you little fucktards going around thinking you're fucking cool because you're a "90s kid". Listen here fuckface, you may be a "90s kid", but the 90s is the generation responsible for FUCKING UP everything AFTER the 90s. Think of that next time you go throwing around "90s kid" like it's a badge of honor.

You sound very wise ^^

I was born in 1997, and I don't think I'm a 90's kid. Although I don't support what the person you were replying to was saying. I mean I don't really agree about the iPads, or the parents... I mean, I'm 16, and I have a cell phone, and a DSi XL, but that's about it and my parents aren't like that.

[SaraLikesSunsets]

I never thought about that way. I mean, I really like this song, I'm not depressed.. but sometimes it can be nice to want things to be different.

[TMichH]

People who think they're hot shit because they were born before other 90's kids... Who are you to say that someone born in 1996 can't be a 90's kid, anyway?
