well i guess i was never
that much of a child
i was key brown ice eyed and cold
i was bitter and driven
had to find all the givens
and the hows and the whys
and of course i cried
at every loud sound

and it was the bathroom and the kitchen
both white and sprayed red
i ran to my playhouse by the river
and it was there that i learned how to climb
my first fence

i've got 5 candles on my birthday cake
and the fifth one is for luck
and i've got 10 minutes to get it straight
i run up the stairs monsters behind me
turn the knob -- too late

i guess i was never that much of a child
i was key brown ice eyed and cold
i was bitter and driven
had to find all the givens
and of course i had to grab ahold
of the frog named freddy
who danced and jumped heavy
into my swimming pole

and it was the bathroom and the kitchen
both white and sprayed red
and it was there that i learned how to play dead

well i've got 5 candles on my birthday cake you see
and the fifth one if for luck
and i've got 10 minutes to get it straight
run up the stairs monsters behind me
turn the knob -- too late
i'm too late
i'm too late

but i guess i was never that much of a child
i was key brown ice eyed and cold
i was bitter and driven
had to find all of the givens
and of course i had to grab ahold
of the frog named freddy
who danced and jumped heavy
into my into my into my into my
into my into my into my into my
swimming pole
