Regina Spektor - School Is Out Lyrics






School is out
And I walk the empty hallways
I walk alone
Alone as always
There's so many lucky pennies
Lying on the floor
But where the hell are all the lucky people
I can't see them any more
And there's such a nasty smell
In the bathroom
The people float by
While the toilets are flushing
And there's all this shit written on the bathroom wall
With a leaky pen
And Lisa loves Jason
Oh, Jason loves Ben

And a letter from Michigan
Is sittin' on my desk
And I remember one thought
But I forget all the rest
And the ice cream is melted
And dripping down my neck
And my bottles standing on the edge of the table
And I think it's in the mood to break
Me, just break
Me, just, just break me

I messed myself up again
Nobody really cares
I wish I could just have some time
To play with my old teddy bear
And maybe I could go
To teddy bear heaven
Just like her
'Cause well, she went when she was eleven
But I stayed late
'Cause I can't understand physics
I don't want to go home
And cook myself dinner
Or look in the mirror
That big, fat mirror
That swallows me up in a corridor
Oh, just swallows me whole

And cha ching goes a robber
And cha ching goes the gun
And cha ching goes the bittersweet
Judgmental nun
Cha ching goes the gun
And cha ching goes the purse
And cha ching goes the over-fucked
Registered nurse
Me, just nurse
Me, just, just nurse me

School is out
And I walk the empty hallways
I walk alone
Alone as always
There's so many lucky pennies
Lying on the floor
But where the hell are all the lucky people
Where the hell are all the lucky people
I can't see them
Any more

Regina Spektor School Is Out Comments
  1. R.... C....

    Who else thought of Jason Grace at 0:45 and then cried because Jason is dead...?

  2. A.... S....

    She is so lovely.

  3. E.... M....

    Fangirls: I love Nico. Oh Nico loves Will.
    Me: screw you guys. I'mma go for the dude with a fricking dragon made out of fricking metal!






    Like if you get the joke

  4. m.... ....

    cant believe regina spektor invented the gays with this song

    m.... ....

    They gays have always been here hunnie~

    m.... ....

    I dont know what you're talking about, Robert, she sure as hell invented this gay

    m.... ....

    honestly this is the best sentence I read today. Yes, she sure did invent us, and we're so glad.

  5. A.... B....

    it's like i always said, school is hell.

  6. S.... H....

    She reminds me a little of Joni Mitchell. Really puts it all out there.

  7. F.... N....

    This song hurts. Like the emotional thing where you don't even know what to do but can't breath and want to yell. Somehow it reminds me of everything that tore my heart out and left it. The broken parts that are the reason I still have trouble relating to people and still hate myself. But I keep coming back to listen to it.

  8. D.... D....

    me, just breaaaaak

  9. V.... P....

    this school is shitty public middle school in a nutshell, from the perspective of someone who just changed schools and lost a close friend or sister just before entering middle school. this person also seems to have an nhappy home situation where no one is ever home. body issues too. this person's story seems to manifest itself as a school shooting

  10. F.... ....

    "Lisa loves Jason. Oh, Jason Loves Ben" oh classic heartbreak from a gay relationship .3.

  11. z.... ....

    This reminds me of one of the Columbine victims, Kelly Fleming. Especially the teddy bear thing since she was buried with two teddy bears in her arms. :'(

    z.... ....

    I know :( Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold didn't deserve to die... they just wanted to make the world a better place...

  12. J.... D....

    ¡Qué hermosa canción! Cada que escucho una canción de Regina que no conocía, me encanta más.

  13. H.... ....

    I have areally hard heart and it's damn fucking impossible to make me cry.
    I almost, ALMOST cried...fuck.

  14. p.... ....

    I think this song beautifully sums up the teenage experience (or at least mine)

  15. p.... ....

    My Best friend has depression and she LOVES Regina,this song makes me think of her,it's really sad the things she tells me :(

  16. c.... ....

    What's awkward about that? People don't get the same associations from music (or from any other thing for that matter) and thus have different reactions to it. Makes perfect sense to me at least.

  17. Z.... J....

    I've physically abused the replay button. I wish this song was released on an album, or at least available on iTunes.

  18. r.... ....

    Shit. I'll finish high school this year. I'll leave my home town to go to the college and this song makes me cry every time... "Don't wanna go home and cook myself dinner". I just think about being alone and it makes me so sad... even though going to college is my biggest dream...

  19. E.... ....

    aw, Lisa loves Jason and Jason loves Ben :3

  20. T.... ....

    this song makes me cry so much...

  21. C.... E....

    They don't laugh at jokes, they laugh at tragedies..

  22. r.... ....

    any chance this song is getting released?

  23. S.... ....

    I felt the same way at your age, but when I got to high school, things really improved. Not all at once, but slowly over the four years. Kindness and helpfulness are wonderful qualities. You'll have more opportunities to find like minds in high school than in the terrible hell hole of middle school :)

  24. A.... ....

    High school is actually better than middle school. There are so many more people, it's easy to leave behind those who dislike you and find friends. I know it sounds cheesy, but you should join clubs to find people who share common interests with you. I've met so many awesome people that way.

  25. m.... d....

    Most of her songs are about death. What a shame. I still love her

  26. p.... ....

    You shouldn't trust any link people send you for downloads, could be a virus.

  27. C.... ....

    vidtomp3.com

  28. N.... ....

    I can't get this song on iTunes, does anyone know of another way to download it?

  29. G.... D....

    You're probably right :) I just heard about it and, well, I thought I'd share it ... :)

  30. s.... ....

    she definitily has some autobiographical songs. I think more of her earlier songs were much moreabout her self such as this one, 8th floor, and obviously rockland county. SHe did make that statement though for songs such as long borwn hair, or oedipus. Regina is just a great storyteller period.

  31. G.... D....

    *there

  32. G.... D....

    I've heard none of her songs are autobiographical, they're about characters she made up. But she's still the one who wrote this song, so their is a part of her laced through it anyway. Even if it's just a figment of her mind.

  33. r.... ....

    I think this is one of her deepest songs. I wonder if this is how she felt in school.

  34. r.... ....

    My seventh grade was this song.

  35. 3.... ....

    Can someone explain this song to me? :/ I'm confused how this beautiful song can make me so sad!

  36. N.... ....

    Where has this song been my whole life?!

  37. D.... ....

    Something always felt heavy about this song. Bittersweet loneliness.

    Break me.

  38. J.... C....

    4 WEEKS LEFT

  39. m.... ....

    I want to be a registered nurse...but overfucked? lul Regina.

  40. A.... W....

    omg...... i dont know why but i cried the first two times and laughed the rest............god my friend keeps asking me what my fav spektor song is and i never know....................RESPEKT!!!!!!!!

  41. A.... L....

    Holy crap Is this song actually about teen suicide...
    it sounds like it... like someone in a seemingly irreparable situation

  42. E.... S....

    "I can't see them anymore." this song has so many double meanings, i love it

  43. D.... L....

    although the lyrics are depressing, the feeling I get from listening to this song gives me a feeling of calmness, solidity and humbleness.

  44. E.... ....

    I can relate to this so much, it's such an amazing song. It should have way more views.

  45. M.... z....

    This is funny.. *not* sucks..

  46. Z.... R....

    such a beautiful song, love her

  47. Z.... R....

    luv this song
