lyrics

When I grow up I want to be…
A fireman with a red hat, pulling cats out of trees
You know I want to be…
A clown at the circus who’s addicted to percocet
and puts young naive on their knees
When I grow up I want to be…
Quote, normal with greasy for lunch,
…bad day at work, …jot my thoughts on a sticky note,
and don’t forget to vote! end quote

You know I want to be…
A face of argyle with a summer-knit smile
in spring
You know I want to be…
A dad with a temper, putting guilt from December
in princess’s crib while she sleeps
When I grow up I want to be…
Quote, happy with people to fool,
…sucking on their fuel, …eating cake and drink a float too,
…sleeping when I bloat, end quote

You know I want to be…
My false realities…
Putting tinsel on a big family tree
just so I don’t feel lonely


Little dark colors in sight
The creepy feeling of a lonely night
Laying in a grassy field at noon
…with the flowers in bloom

Bad boy, your life is a mess
You look so crazy in your mothers dress
I’m sure it looks better on you than it did on dad
…so why you so sad?

Black, brown and a pussy green
An ear full of sound from a curdling scream
Laughter fell upon our face as well
…but how could you tell?

Ignore all his evil, twisted ways
and join him for breakfast

Can’t you see all the windows in my armor?

Little dark colors in sight
The creepy feeling of a lonely night
Laying in a grassy field at noon
…with the flowers in bloom

Ignore all his evil, twisted ways
and join him for breakfast

Can’t you see all the window in my armor?
Can’t you see all the sunlight on the water?
Can’t you see all these bullets in my daughter?
Is she using all the lessons that I taught her?
…how could I know?
