Pulling on the apron strings looking up
Standing on the chair to be grown up
I feel so little I need my pillow
I hate the time I hate the clock
I want to be a dog or I want to be a rock
Sunday's pancakes miss mary mack
Color polariods show my heart attack
In my second hand pants and dusty shoes
The day that the playground laughed at my shoes

Is to turn on the heat so the fish won't freeze
The fish in the tank froze and died last week
Oh I want to be a dog or I want to be a leaf
Quarry miners fishermen
In my town of bethlehem
Picket fences church at ten
No star above my bethlehem
Now I'm only 16 and I think I have an ulcer
I'm hiding my s*x behind a dirty sweatshirt

Who gives a s**t about that anyway
I want to be a dog or a lump of clay

Tired of living still
Everyday I dream of leaving
Everybody's talking about becky's bust
The boys on the basketball team just f**k
The same ten girls who don't kn
