The cardiac kid spends too much time
missing all the things he left behind
never hears a word his parents say
And sleeps his life away

Part time job and the full time blues
A reputation he just can't loose
Textbook case of a lonely heart
And this is just the start of what's tearing him apart

Cardiac Kid, he's still pumping
Cardiac Kid, ain't that something!
Cardiac Kid, he's still pumping on and on

Just another voice that no one hears
Been living out the same routine for years
Guess it's hard to change when you're all grown
and still living at home

Part time job and the full time blues
A reputation he just can't loose
Textbook case of a lonely heart
And this is just the start of what's tearing him apart
