Lyrics
The junk drawer by the Kenmore stove is clean now, baby, I swear.
That ten-round mess of twist-ties and dead batteries ain't there.
'Just clean it out,' you said last Tuesday, 'bout a quarter to ten.

[Chorus]
'Cause I kept the ticket stub, the one with the ring-stain crease.

[Verse 2]

[Bridge]

This ain't no clean decision, this is me staying ALIVE!
[Outro]
Still waiting for the bell... yeah.
Still got that stub right here.
