Now you're swimming   It don't even feel right   You hate your body   You know it shows      They're acting crazy   Out there in the deep end   They're shouting curse words   And acting crazy      You got a cop for a dad   And you don't want any more   Off-duty advice now      You got a saint in the eye   And you don't want any more   Guilt-tripping advice now      They'll figure it out   And they can keep you in the dark   Afternoon is your own time   Alone time      We'll figure it out   And then we'll keep you in the dark   Afternoon is the wrong time      And now you're painting   And you don't even feel right   You hate the colors   And you know they'll bleed      They're acting foolish   Out there in the darkroom   Rolling quarters   Going wild      You got a cop in your face   And you don't want any more   Time left alone with him      You got a saint for a mom   And you know all the ways out   The back door and on out      They'll figure it out   And then they'll keep you in the dark   Afternoon is your own time   Alone time      We'll figure it out   And then we'll keep you in the dark   Afternoon is the wrong time
