Penn Dreadfuls

Time'll change Slip through the dust As the bus pulls away from waving hands And the child star I bought a comic in the mail And the sign said The stories will shake the sheep 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 Doubt does not allow it I see the driver in the glass This car moving past While they're standing There's no standing! The five-year olds eat defeat, Soiled in the seats when, "Attention!" And short attention spans. The boy who sweats when he's caught Is touching a palm of a princess Who's cawing, "Where's my baby doll!" Manny the thief, just lost all his teeth To his mama, playing baseball. Ahh oooh... Pick a place and settle, Too fast to fright, he pauses At who fought the likes of His older pal. And when they find out who he is, Her eyes were sorry for Her brother who waited away "go time" Her dead costume just flipped her for the fall(?) And watch the pain go through her The entire body twisted Soldiers in the coldness. The bully grabs at my hair, And punches they fell toward me, Tells me, "gonna get me now" The driver pushes the gas, The bully's schemes caught fast So he spins back, Got his attention now. He hits the brakes and we slide And his head hits the side And he screams out, “Creeps, I'll take you all!” And then he grabs penny dreadful, and looks on the check fulls, And my head sinks, my friends have left my shore Then there's the stop where Sarah climbs in, she says, “Darling, where's your heart been” He laughs in his place She spits in his face and says, “Bully, you leave my boy alone Everybody came down just to see me leaving Baby take my hand now can't you see I'm happy When the story's mine I think I'll tell it different It's a shame to hear the sound When the penny hit the ground And I want to go back home When does this bus leave”
