When I woke up this mornin',
Another call from my mom,
When I woke up this mornin',
Another call from my mom,
She's worried that I ain't eatin' right,
And stayin' out all night long.
CHORUS
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues.
She's worried that I ain't eatin' right,
And stayin' out all night long.
Crawled into the kitchen,
It's a scene from blasted hell,
Crawled into the kitchen,
It's a scene from blasted hell,
The floor's all black and sticky,
And we can't explain the smell.
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
(etc)
Tried to find some clean clothes,
It's tough when they're all black,
Tried to find some clean clothes,
It's tough when they're all black,
Settled for a torn t-shirt,
And my trenchcoat on my back.
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
(etc)
I sleep best in the daytime,
I drink all through the night,
I sleep best in the daytime,
I drink all through the night,
I'm worried that I'll get scurvy,
But at least my skin's still white.
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
(etc)
I might go to this lecture,
But I missed the first fourteen,
I might go to this lecture,
But I missed the first fourteen,
The exam's in only six more days,
And I've got two more in between.
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
(etc)
My girlfriend came to see me,
She's got a new tattoo,
My girlfriend came to see me,
She's got a new tattoo,
She said she's joined a new-age cult,
And is into sex with glue.
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
(etc)
I made it into uni,
Then walked into the caf,
I made it into uni,
Then walked into the caf,
I tried in vain to find some food,
That wasn't ripe with staph.
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
(etc)
I went off to my friend's place,
To play a White Wolf game,
I went off to my friend's place,
To play a White Wolf game,
But the GM sat and drank all night,
Every time it is the same.
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
(etc)
It's late on Friday evenin',
So we head out to the club,
It's late on Friday evenin',
So we head out to the club,
My hairdye makes my scalp itch,
And my piercing starts to rub.
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
(etc)
I walked home from the station,
The rain fell on my head,
I walked home from the station,
The rain fell on my head,
I found the pay phone broken,
And my faithful dog was dead.*
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
(etc)
My house-mates sleep together,
They won't let me join in,
My house-mates sleep together,
They won't let me join in,
They've bought a pile of whips and chains,
And a gigantic rolling pin.
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues,
I got the role-play uni-student,
gothic drunken share-house blues.
