william holden caulfield" by Too Much Joy, from the album "Cereal Killers"



he called me

william holden caulfield

it was no compliment

what's wrong with

william holden caulfield



all that stuff that bummed me out ten years ago

still bugs me today, and boy i wanna know

who died and made you my mom and me some stupid kid

how can you forget all those things we did



so keep on sleeping on

till your hair is grey

when I turn eighty

i better feel this way



i'm afraid of people who like _catcher_in_the_rye_

yeah, i like it too, but someone tell me why

people he'd despise say i feel like that guy

i don't wanna grow up 'cause i don't wanna die

when i'm thirty-one

then keep living on

for fifty more years



i respect the man in _sunset_boulevard_

got a heart somewhere just won't let down his guard

doesn't trust happiness or the bad luck that it brings

he's lonely and he's cold and he's proud of these things

i said i'm cold

and i'm lonely

i'm proud of these things
