Cranberry Juice

Sittin' here in bio, tryin' to stay awake
Eyes are gettin' heavy, stayed up much too late...
Went to bed early last nite, thought I was bein' good
Then my friend got sick, had to take her to the store..

She needed cranberry juice - how the hell can you drink that crap?
She needed cranberry juice - can I please just take a nap?

Fuck you, cranberry juice
You kept me up last night
And now I'm dozing off
I wanna slash you with a knife...

Tryin' to pay attention, to amino acids and such
In one ear, out the other, I really don't care too much
All I can think is "sleep," it's tugging at my arm
Tryin' to pull me down with it, if I'm not careful, I'll drown...

Drown in sleep? Since when am I that dumb?
That made no sense at all - my body's going numb...

Fuck you cranberry juice
You kept me up all night
Fuck you cranberry juice
This really isn't right

To have my suitemate home in bed
While visions of cranberries dance in her head
And I'm sitting here (for much too long)
Staying awake and writing stupid songs...

Fuck cranberry juice
