Straight out of Boston
To reinvent the modern rock and roll
He put down the cigarette and dropped out of B.U

Too sensitive for this world
Too sensitive for that girl

He could look right through the Cezans
If he had a girlfriend
A g-i-r-l-f-r-e-n
In the astral plane

Too sensitive for this world
Too sensitive for that girl
Please, God, don't let me end up like Jonathan Richman
Turn the radio off
Turn the radio off
Turn the radio off
Turn the radio off

He was never called an asshole
As he would walk past the Fenway
Modern girls, modern rock and roll
He's straight, you're stoned

Too sensitive for this world
Too sensitive for that girl
Please, God, don't let me end up like Jonathan Richman
Turn the radio off
Turn the radio off
Turn the radio off
Turn the radio off
