Album: Matt the Electrician Is Alive

Football player in the second row
Never knew that she was beautiful


Momma's crying with her head down low
Daddy with the video

Drummers drum and the horns all blow
Marching band's circling tight

Everyone is moving in slow-mo
She's at the speed of light

And the valedictorian
Sheds her clothes in the midday between spring and summer sun
She says, "This is who I am.
And I'll never see any of you ever again."

Oh, the principal and counselors close in
Trying to avert a scene

She just keeps on sticking to her speech
Feeling like a prom queen

Somebody shuts off the microphone
Pandemonium ensues

She turns and runs across the football field
In nothing but her socks and shoes

And the valedictorian
Sheds her clothes in the midday between spring and summer sun
She says, "This is who I am.
And I'll never see any of you ever again."
