Hiro's Song Songtext

Her name is Yuko, she is twenty-two,
She and my daughter were best friends in high school.
They say I'm crazy and it's temporary,
But I refuse to rot like my contemporaries.
I wanna explode!
(In a karaoke supernova)

I don't wanna grow old.
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode?
I don't wanna grow old.
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode?
In a karaoke supernova, yeah.

Uh-oh
Uh-oh
Uh-oh
Uh-oh

Last night she dressed me up in hip hop pants, The phat g-style that rides below your ass.
She wants to show me to her mom and dad,
I told her I would not be down with that.

'Cause lately I can feel the years between us.
I hope to God my friends at work don't see us.
Today she asked me if I've ever seen Jesus,
'Cause she had backstage passes for three of us.

I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode
I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, won't you let me explode, oh oh
In a Karaoke Supernova, yeah

So now she's gone and broke my heart goddamn her
Turns out she's been fucking this drum programmer
She likes his style, she likes his rock start glamour
Well she's an infant! he can damn well have her!

I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, Won't you let me explode
I don't wanna grow old
Won't you let me, Won't you let me explode
I don't wanna grow old
(I don't wanna grow)
Won't you let me, Won't you let me explode
I don't wanna grow old
(I don't wanna grow)
Won't you let me, Won't you let me explode
In a Karake Supernova
