Lyrics for 3 Speed

Got a 3-speed and banana seat Sittin' back on the Sissy bar Went to Sev and got a drink Wish I was drivin' in daddy's car And I looked up at the sky last night And I thought I saw a bomb And why won't you just tell me what's going on? Ridin' down on Springhill Road Meetin' Alfred out in the woods Dogs bark and mosquitoes bite Scratching the itch that makes it feel good And I looked into the mirror last night All I saw was a pretty blonde And why won't you just tell me what's goin' on? Life is funny, but not "ha-ha" funny Peculiar I guess You think I got it all goin' my way Then why am I such a fucking mess? Want a pony and a birthday cake Want a party with a scary clown Kneel down and bow to the princess Kneel down for the queen of the town And I looked up at the sky last night And I thought I saw a bomb And why won't you just tell me what's goin' on? Tell me what's goin' on
