Jolly Ranchers and Mountain Dew

V6

[Intro] Jolly Ranchers and Mountain Dew All the things I know about you Jolly Ranchers and Mountain Dew I don't know what else to do [Verse 1] We met at the gas station late at night You'd been crying from an earlier fight I was standing by the magazine rack Holding twenty dollars and a bag of snacks I said, "Ma'am, is there something I can do?" You wiped your eyes and looked at me confused I thought maybe we could talk a while You looked at me without a smile [Pre-Chorus] And for a second there I thought you understood I was only trying To do something good [Chorus – Loud, fuzzy, hypnotic] Hey! Hey! What'd I do? I was only talking to you Hey! Hey! What's the deal? I was asking how you feel "GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU WEIRDO!" [Post-Chorus – Detached, nearly spoken] Okay... okay... Have a nice day... [Verse 2] I stood there holding my Mountain Dew Not really sure what I was supposed to do The cashier watched from behind the glass I paid for my stuff and I left pretty fast Outside beneath the buzzing sign I sat in my car for a little while Thought about the things I'd said Then opened up my candy instead [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it was bad timing Maybe I should've known Some people at the gas station Just wanna be left alone [Chorus – Explosive fuzzy guitars, shouted vocals] Jolly Ranchers and Mountain Dew I was just being nice to you Wrong place, wrong time, wrong thing to do "GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU WEIRDO!" [Post-Chorus – Sludgy guitar groove, deadpan vocals] Oh well, oh well Guess that didn't go too well Oh well, oh well I'll just keep it to myself [Bridge] The parking lot was mostly empty Some guy was filling up his truck I dropped a Jolly Rancher on the floor And decided not to pick it up [Pause] ...It was the blue one. [Final Chorus] Jolly Ranchers and Mountain Dew Everybody's got something they're going through I don't know you, you don't know me I was just trying to be friendly "GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU WEIRDO!" [Outro] Alright... Jeez... Sorry... [Long pause] ...Didn't even want the blue one.
