[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
