I used to be a nicoteen
Chainsmoking on the beach,
With my hair bleached blonde
And my eyes lined dark
Dressed up in velveteen;
Skin like peaches and cream
Riding in boys cars,
Late night, to the docks
Oh god, my arrogance.
Wore it like red lipstick; "maybe it's Maybelline."
All of my happiness came with such indifference
Everything meant nothing to me
Yeah, everything meant nothing to me
Get high and die for the weekend
Pink wine and anti-depressants
All the boys that hurt me
Well, not even one of them deserved me
Too wild and wide-eyed to make sense
Ride bikes to 7-11
Liquor in my Slurpee
Oh In my mind, forever, I'll be a nicoteen
Hung out in parking lots,
Took turns at taking shots
Of your brother's rum that you stole off him
Watching the boys turn tricks,
Pop wheelies and kick-flips
Til the girls got bored of being ignored
Oh god, my innocence,
Wore it like clear chapstick
Bearing it all to see
All my unhappiness, what was the point of it?
Everything meant nothing to me
Yeah, everything meant nothing to me
Get high and die for the weekend
Pink wine and anti-depressants
All the boys that hurt me
Well, not even one of them deserved me
Too wild and wide-eyed to make sense
Ride bikes to 7-11
Liquor in my Slurpee
Oh In my mind forever I'll be a nicoteen
