Lyrics Bin

September ‘75 I was 47 inches high
Mom said someday I would have
A bad ass mother G.I. Joe
for your little minds to blow
I still got beat up after class

Now I’m big and important
one angry dwarf
and 200 solemn faces are you
If you want to see me
check your papers and your T.V.
Look who’s tellin’ who what to do
Kiss my ass good-bye

Don’t give me that bullshit
you know who I am
I’m your nightmare little man
Vic you stole my lunch money.
made me cry.
Jane remember second grade
Said you couldn’t stand my face
Rather than kiss me you said
you’d rather die

Now I’m big and important
one angry dwarf
and 200 solemn faces are you
If you want to see me
check your papers and your T.V.
Look who’s tellin’ who what to do
Kiss my ass good-bye

You’ll be sorry one day
Yes you will, yes you will
You shouldn’t push me around
Cause I will, yes I will
You will be sorry when I’m big
Yes you will be sorry

She plays wipeout on the drums
the squirrels and the birds come
Gather around to sing the guitar
Oh I…have you got nothing to say
When all words fail she speaks
Her mix tape’s a masterpiece
Walks through the garden
so the roses can see
Oh I…have you got nothing to say
And you can see the daisies
in her footsteps
Dandelions, butterflies
I wanna be Kate
Everyday she wars the same thing
I think she smokes pot
She’s everything I want, She’s everything I’m not
Oh. I…
Have you got nothing to say
She never gets wet
She smiles and it’s a rainbow
And she speaks and she breathes
I wanna be Kate
Down by the Rosemary and Cameron
She hands out the Bhagaved Gita
I see her around every couple days
I wanna meet her so that
I can say…hey Kate

6 a.m.,
day after Christmas
I throw some clothes on in the dark
the smell of cold
car seat is freezing
the world is sleeping
I am
numb

up the stairs
to her apartment
she is balled up on the couch
her mom and dad
went down to Charlotte
they’re not home to find us out

and we drive
now that I
have found someone
I’m feeling more alone
than I ever have before

she’s a brick and I’m
drowning slowly
off the coast and I’m
headed nowhere
she’s a brick and I’m
drowning slowly

they call her name
at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
then I walk down
to buy her flowers
and sell some gifts that I got

can’t you see,
it’s not me you’re dying for?
now she’s feeling more alone
than she ever has before

she’s a brick and I’m
drowning slowly
off the coast and I’m
headed nowhere
she’s a brick and I’m
drowning slowly

as weeks went by
it showed that she was not fine
they told me, “Son, it’s time
to tell the truth” and
she broke down
and I broke down
’cause I was tired…
of lying

driving back
to her apartment
for the moment we’re alone
yeah, she’s alone
and I’m alone
and now I know it

she’s a brick and I’m
drowning slowly
off the coast and I’m
headed nowhere
she’s a brick and I’m
drowning slowly
