| [00:23.10] |
Pulling on the apron strings looking up |
| [00:30.03] |
Standing on the chair to be grown up |
| [00:33.35] |
I feel so little, I need my pillow |
| [00:39.10] |
I hate the time, I hate the clock |
| [00:41.78] |
I want to be a dog or I want to be a rock |
| [00:44.16] |
Sunday's pancakes Miss Mary Mack |
| [00:46.72] |
Color Polariods show my heart attack |
| [00:52.10] |
|
| [00:54.41] |
In my second-hand pants and dusty shoes |
| [01:00.29] |
The day that the playground laughed at my shoes |
| [01:02.97] |
|
| [01:05.29] |
It's my birthday next week and what I want please |
| [01:09.85] |
|
| [01:10.72] |
Is to turn on the heat so the fish won't freeze |
| [01:14.54] |
|
| [01:16.22] |
The fish in the tank froze and died last week |
| [01:19.79] |
|
| [01:21.41] |
Oh I want to be a dog or I want to be a leaf |
| [01:26.85] |
|
| [01:27.85] |
Quarry miners, fishermen |
| [01:30.85] |
|
| [01:32.22] |
In my town of Bethlehem |
| [01:35.47] |
|
| [01:37.98] |
Picket fences, church at ten |
| [01:42.91] |
No star above my Bethlehem |
| [01:45.23] |
|
| [01:47.91] |
Now I'm only 16 and I think I have an ulcer |
| [01:52.85] |
|
| [01:53.79] |
I'm hiding my sex behind a dirty sweatshirt |
| [01:55.97] |
|
| [01:59.04] |
I've lost five pounds these past few days |
| [02:02.85] |
|
| [02:04.91] |
Trying to be class president and get straight A's, well, |
| [02:09.98] |
Who gives a shit about that anyway? |
| [02:13.29] |
|
| [02:14.66] |
I want to be a dog or a lump of clay |
| [02:19.66] |
|
| [02:21.10] |
Chorus |
| [02:21.66] |
Still I'm tired of standing still |
| [02:26.16] |
Tired of living - still |
| [02:30.16] |
|
| [02:43.48] |
Everyday I dream of leaving |
| [02:45.60] |
|
| [02:50.79] |
Everybody's talking about Becky's bust |
| [02:52.48] |
|
| [03:04.41] |
The boys on the basketball team just fuck |
| [03:07.98] |
The same ten girls, who don't know who they are |
| [03:12.23] |
They're looking for some comfort in the back of a car |
| [03:15.04] |
The six-packs of beer, the locker room jeers |
| [03:18.10] |
|
| [03:18.85] |
I don't want to be me, I don't want to be here |
| [03:22.73] |
Chorus |
| [03:23.54] |
Red brick schoolhouse, dead end dirt roads, daffodils |
| [03:25.23] |
No star above my Bethlehem |
| [03:26.85] |
I want to be a dog or I want to be a rock |
| [03:29.85] |
|
| [03:30.66] |
I don't want to be me, I don't want to be here |
