lyrics

Your exercise tapes
need an update
you got T-shirt and man it looks great
you'll be 89 years old
with 65 layers of paint on the walls
and that's all
your life spent
but can you cover last months rent?

And someday
on a Sunday
Your gonna look up at the molding on the ceiling
and see there in my old room
the best bubble I promised just for you

I wana travel like an infant learns!
I wana feel just like a little girl-
on her first period- nothing really knowing
Well I'm nervous and I'm scared
but at least I'm growing

You why do I even bother?
what if I just up and left your father?
It doesn't matter, cause you never listen.
You wana be a bum.
I said musician
and you just laughed what the hells the difference?
yeah you just laughed what the hells the difference?

and how far
from the bar
could you walk lower case b line from your car and
then fall in
ignition
I just wana go for a spin

I wana travel like an infant learns!
I wana feel just like a little girl-
on her first period- nothing really knowing
Well I'm nervous and I'm scared
but at least I'm growing

and I'm growing up
and I'm goin grey
hope I get it figured out by the end of the day
but your satisfied just feeling appetized
sit and watch TV and wait for your afterlife surprise
but all I can do
is watch the glow on you
and wonder why
