He wants to live fast, die young, get drunk,
He wants to tell the world
"Oh world, up yours!,
I wanna be last left on the shelf"
Gotta do it,
Gotta do it for himself

Don't wanna meet girl,
Get house, have kids
Don't wanna give himself no 5 year plan
He wants to hold out 'til he has to
He wants to hold out 'til he gets his chance;
His chance to dance

Oh Nigel, where've you been?
She says you're wonderful, as you are
Over there, thinking your life away,
Pushing the love away,
On your own

Well his stomachs sick but his heart is beating,
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming,
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops,
The world just stops

Well his stomachs sick but his heart is beating,
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming,
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops,
The world just stops

He didn't think that he had a problem,
'Til he woke up and all his friends were gone
He kissed a girl in '97,
He thought she left but oh she hung on

Oh Nigel, where've you been?
She says you're wonderful, as you are
Your there, thinking your life away,
Pushing the love away,
On your own

Well his stomachs sick but his heart is beating,
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming,
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops,
The world just stops

Well his stomachs sick but his heart is beating,
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming,
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops,
The world just stops

They went outside and laid together,
She told him all the places that she'd been;
And what she'd seen
Could've laid right there forever,
Under her breath she swore she'd get him clean

Well his stomachs sick but his heart is beating,
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming,
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops,
The world just stops

Well his stomachs sick but his heart is beating,
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming,
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops,
The world just stops

Well his stomachs sick but his heart is beating,
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming,
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops,
The world just stops

Well his stomachs sick but his heart is beating,
The tears run thick but her eyes are gleaming,
She slaps his face just to stop him screaming
And the world just stops,
The world just stops!
