I could have been taller now
I could have been taller now
Stood up on a milk crate
I wouldn’t be so loud, be so loud
And I could’ve had better teeth
I could’ve had better teeth
They’re looking like the brickwork
Of the houses on Price St., Price St.
-Bless him, he’s someones child-
A soft response, a violent sneeze
The second it left his mouth
Got lost upon the southern,
the southern, the southern breeze
I could‘ve been prettier
I could’ve been prettier
Build myself a new face
A tan, a little wax, oh how crass
Could’ve had more cash
Could’ve had more cash
Invested in the NASDAQ
But I’m riding somewhere last, somewhere last
-Bless him, he’s someones child-
A soft response, a violent sneeze
The second it left his mouth
Got lost upon the southern,
the southern, the southern,
the southern, the southern,
the southern, the southern breeze
You could’ve been prettier
But I doubt it girl.
