Penny Dreadfuls

Lyrics for Penny Dreadfuls

Tumble change slip through the dust as the bus pulls away From waving hands at the child stye I bought a comic in the mail and the sale said ´´These stories will shake the sheets from off of you´´ So gather 'round, just four more stops again We'll reach our teachers' hallways in the end Expect the foulest 'cause dad does not allow it I see the driver in the glass This crowds will never pass while They're standing There's no standing The five-year olds eat whit feet Soiling the seats with a tantrum And short attention spans The boy who sweats when he's calm Is touching a palm of a princess Who's crying, "Where's my baby doll!" And Benny the thief Just lost all his teeth to his brother With the baseball Ahh oooh Ahh oooh Pick a place and settle in, too fast to fret for poor Susette Who thought her legs could race the polar bear And when they found her in the ice, her eyes were sorry for Her brother who waited for Lego time But there's much more, just flip to forty-four And watch the bleeding phoenix The end's a plot twist with soldiers in the wolf mist The bully grabs at my hands And punches through fans for the pages My arms are in the air The driver punches the gas The bully screams, "Call that fast?", so the kids laugh He needs attention bad Then to the brakes, her feet slide His head hits the side and he screams out "Creeps, I'll take you all!" He grabs penny dreadful And rips up in shred-fulls when my head sinks My friends have left my side But then there's the stop And Sara climbs in, she says “Tommy Where's your horror pin?” He laughs in his place She spits in his face and says, "Bully, you leave my boy alone!" Everybody came out just to see me leaving With my pennys in my hand they're glad to see I'm happy But when the story's mine I think I'll tell it different It's a shame to hear the sound when my pennys hit the ground Now I want to go back home, when does this bus leave?
