I am a hateful little child
I am not innocent; I'm bad!
and a shame... a shame
I've got a dozen crocodiles
all curled up in the sun like cats
so tame... it's a shame
with heavy heads they nudge my legs
when they want some cuddles and attention
they like to lie under the skylight where it's warm
and nobody can reach them
and this floor hates me now
and this floor wants me gone!
and this floor hates me now...
and this floor wants me gone!
come join me in the mezzanine
I'm marinated in the dust
I'm lost; I'm terrified
let's enjoy a sip of grenadine
and hope the dolls don't make a fuss
about the rust that petrifies them...
I tried on my mother's wedding dress
it's white and dry as bone
I'm swimming in a sea of heads
trying! ...trying to find my own
and if this floor hates me now
if this floor wants me gone...
if this floor hates me now
if this floor wants me gone...
if this floor hates me now...
this floor will make me strong!
