I’m on fire, and now I think I’m ready to bust a move. 
Check it out, I’m rocking steady. 
Go! 

Betty won’t stop listening to modern rock. 
How she hates to be alone. 
I try to compensate her lack of love with coffeecake, 
Ice cream, and a bottle of ten dollar wine.
She says, "Hey, 
I rock the Haro sport, 
I rock the cow girl blues, 
I rock too fast for love.
I’m footloose in my Velcro shoes. 
What’s up with Will & Grace? 
I don’t get drum and bass. 
The future freaks me out." 

I’m on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move. 
Check it out I’m rocking steady, 
To the beat in my head, 
That goes oh, oh, oh, oh. 
I know that she’s the only one. 
I’d rather waste our time together. 
Yeah, ‘cause we can get down. 

Betty can’t quit carving question marks in my wrist. 
"How come we’re so alone?" 
We waste away the days with nicotine and television samples, 
From an era we hate to admit we embrace. 
We fail to represent. 
We fail to be content. 
We fail at everything we ever even try to attempt. 
And so the story goes, 
As only Betty knows. 
It’s time we take control. 

I’m on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move. 
Check it out I’m rocking steady, 
To the beat in my head, 
That goes oh, oh, oh, oh. 
I know that she’s the only one. 
I’d rather waste my time with her. 

(Betty, I need you. 
I miss you. 
I’m so alone without you. 
To call up on the weekends with my cellular phone.) 

Betty it’s so hard to relate, (Betty, I need you.)
To the whole human race. (I miss you.)
I don’t know where to begin. (I'm so alone without you.)
I don’t know where to begin. 
If we can both find a way, (Betty, I need you.)
To do the things that we say, (I miss you.)
We might not sit in our rooms, 
And drink our daydreams away. (I'm so alone..)
Betty, I’m a dreamer.  (Betty.)
I’m not a vicious schemer. (I need you)
Oh Betty won’t you.. ah fuck it. (I miss you.

I’m on fire, and now I think I'm ready to bust a move. 
Check it out I’m rocking steady, 
To the beat in my head, 
That goes oh, oh, oh, oh. 
I know that she’s the only one. 
I’d rather waste our time together. 
Yeah, ‘cause we can get down.
