I won't take a pound of flesh from your side.
Can't hide my tears in public with both eyes open wide.
Nobody in the room could understand what I mean.
Nothing I do amounts to more than small hills of beans.

The bloom is off the rose but I still smell fine.
Take what you need from here, but please don't take mine.
Running it through my head with no more places to scour.
I leave 'em there to keep my grapes from tasting so sour.

Wipe the smile off of my face.
Cuz my mouth is a waste of space.
When I'm put into my place.
I'll play it safe I won't number my days.

I'm pleased as punch but still my feet move too slow.
I'm smack bang in the middle with three tantrums to throw.
I pull out my teeth so now I'm ready to crack a smile.
And you will be laughing when I miss it by half a mile.

You could never make my day.
But I'll get through the night I pray.
Am I dead or did I hit the hay?
My head's out of whack so please cut me some slack.

Wipe the smile off of my face.
Cuz my mouth is a waste of space.
When I'm put into my place.
I'll play it safe I won't number my days.

Out of steam out of luck I'm all done
I scan this hell hole for a place in the sun ...
