lyrics

Marty’s Problem
Dwight Evan Young/Vince Rostkowski

The other night my car broke down,
Just outside of town.
I need a little fuel
To get my feet up off the ground.

But it’s been a heavy week,
I’ve made a friend, but he’s a geek,
Found out my dad’s a peeping Tom,
But I don’t have much room to speak.

And I got hit by a car,
Woke up pantsless in the dark, and
This girl has got the hots for me,
But she looks a bit bizarre.

And this idiot from class
Says he’s gonna kick my ass
Cause I dirtied up his car,
But I don’t think he’s got the brass.

I ain’t no chicken,
But time is tickin’,
I’ve gotta go.

[CHORUS]
I’m stuck in 1955, I need plutonium to drive.
I’m starting to expect I’m never gonna get home again.
This geriatric lunatic’s got a plan, and I’ll stick to it.
Anything to keep myself from fading away.
Nobody knows when lightning strikes,
But with any luck tonight
I’ll find my way back home.

I gotta get the class nerd laid,
Or at least get him a date,
A little romance at the dance tonight
And I hope it’s not too late.

But this douche is feeling up the girl
So I hope this nerd can fight,
I’m so done with all of this
I’m feeling sick, cause

I just made out with my mother,
She said I kiss just like a brother.
I don’t quite know how she knows it
And I don’t think that I want to.

This incestuous sexual tension
Would give Freud an erection.
But it’s not like I had options
Or a way out…

[CHORUS]

“Man, I wish I could, just… you know, make like a tree and get out of here.”

[CHORUS]
I’m stuck in 1955, I need plutonium to drive.
I’m starting to expect I’m never gonna get home again.
This geriatric lunatic’s got a plan, and I’ll stick to it.
Anything to keep myself from fading away.
Nobody knows when lightning strikes,
But with any luck tonight
I’ll find my way back to the future again.
Back to 1985, I’d just be glad to be alive,
And hopefully there’ll be no major repercussions
For meddling with the past… shit.
