lyrics

CHOIR
Forty percent vegetable or twenty percent casserole
I must eat up all my dinner to become well (x4.5) //
I wanna leave I wanna leave I wanna leave I wanna leave
Take me home // A hot beverage won't count in your percentage to salvation (2.5)

(chamber intro)

VERSE
Once Upon A Time
you crawled under your bed in golden furs to hide
we read that you had died in the papers
and when nobody laughed you cried

CHORUS
when I get out of here
(and she waits for me)
you motherfuckers will laugh long and loud
(no matter how long)
I'm gonna show you how

VERSE
Red was the sun on Christmas morning
when you tied your waist
tighter and tighter until your stomach
swelled up in your face you told me

CHORUS
when I get out of here
(and she waits for me)
we'll be as thick as thieves
(no matter how long)
mhmm like we were meant to be

BRIDGE
bit did you forget me baby where did you go
you seem so sure of yourself but dont you know
you're gonna miss me when I'm
you're gonna wish that I was
I'm just not feeling myself this morning

(spoken) oh mom, don't worry about me, I'll be fine I've got so much fucking potential

(instrumental break)

VERSE
You came to me in blue
God himself had cleaned your eyes
I saw that it was
true you died in 1992

CHORUS
But when I get out of here
I know where I want to be
wherever I am where you're
right there next to me

NARRATOR:
Not long before, Cheryl went down to the hospital store
The doctor said: "why are you here?
Is it mould in the teeth? Do you bleed from the ear?"
Cheryl said "No, not that or the other.
I just can't remember my favorite color -
red is quite nice, and I do love blue, and yellow is yellow...
but which is true?"
"Tut tut," said the doctor, "its worse than I thought.
You're gonna have to stay right here in this spot.
We'll bring you lasagna three times a day.
But until you remember your favorite color,
this is where you're gonna stay."

(orchestral crescendo and finale)
