[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
