You know I want to be the way you want me to

Big hearted and tall enough to cover you

I would break in half if you said it out loud

Splinter out of myself just like mercury

I think it's better now than how it used to be

You were lying in bed and I would levitate

I think it's better here than where we used to be

I wish I could go out into the Oregon sun to be alive in the day

I would smile at everyone

I remember you back in '83 you were dressing insane

You were my everything you were so different from all those other

girls

A blind Electra in drag so cool and casually lame

I think I'm better now than how I used to be

Always nervous and weird, scared most of the time

I think it's better now than how it used to be

Always up in the night afraid to live in the day

Afraid of being afraid

Afraid to live in the day

Afraid of being afraid

Now I sit alone when you're not around

I read aloud just to hear a friendly voice

I see you scary dolls they always look at me

From the corner of my eyes I see them shake their heads

You know I want to be the way you me to

Big hearted and tall enough to cover you

You know I want to be the way you me to

I wish I could go out just to be alive in the day

To be alive in the day
