Did you enter the world kicking and screaming?
Did you grow from a girl into a little boy
With long brown hair and eyes that stare
Did you bruise your knees and spend the day watching TV?
Did you sprout like a tree out of someone's lawn
To take their stuff when they're dead and gone?
Did you scream a name out into your darkroom
Did somebody's face come to chase away the beasts from your outer space?
Did you come to be out among the lights and all the sounds?
Did it come to be rough and painful as can be?
Was it one time or two times or three
That you'd say in a cold way
That is not me
Did you enter the world spitting and biting?
Did you grow from a girl into a little boy
With short brown hair and eyes that stare
Did you turn around when you heard them calling
Or say you're not coming down ever again
And get sent to bed cause you lost your head
Did you see the light
From the plug in the bathroom
Did you doubt your sight
Did you expect you'd fall right out
Into the night
