Let's Go Bowling Lyrics

Camera Obscura

I don't believe in anything so you may as well forget about me
it's time you took it upon yourself to go join the other team
forget about me
anyway, I got myself some bowling shoes
an' they are all that I can see
with all my might I scored a strike
my friend you wouldn't believe
my teenage years were wasted all on me

On Saturday I watched a film
it was black and white with Clark Gable in
I've seen that film one hundred time or more
how am I going to tell my friends
I won't be coming out with them no more?

Don't you know that I feel sad?
You only know how to get mad
