lyrics

alex, wake up, wake up
you shouldn't be the drunkest kid at your own party
we all know how you fake it, you faker
a dozen flashing lights from outside
and their sirens are screaming
whoa-oh uh-oh uh-oh uh-oh, oh no
well, don't look so surprised

we'll get what we came for
you'll get what you deserve
the ghosts in your bedroom
are leaving with the lights on
we'll get what we came for
you'll get what you deserve
the ghosts in your bedroom
are taking medication

alex, you're driving too fast
you're making me nervous
you should slow down
you're making me nervous, i said
as he stepped on the gas

we'll get what we came for
you'll get what you deserve
the ghosts in your bedroom
are leaving with the lights on
we'll get what we came for
you'll get what you deserve
the ghosts in your bedroom
are taking medication

you fake-fake, you fake-fake-fake it
we all know how, we all know how, you fake it
you fake-fake, you fake-fake-fake it
we all know how, we all know how, you fake it
you fake-fake, you fake-fake-fake it

the lights in your bedroom
are going off and on again
on and off and on again
they're more afraid of you
