Burn the witch, she’s got warts on her toes and her tits She’s old, she’s cold, I don’t think she has a soul
She staggers she spits she falls down she throws fits She can’t sing she can’t see she can’t possibly need
You turn to a friend, say it’s winter again How did that happen so fast? Is that really me looking back?
You’re beautiful . . . All of the boys want to walk you to school Turn a regular guy to a stumbling fool But these things they just fade away I love you anyway
You look in the glass, you don’t dare but you ask anyway Is she young is she dumb is she pure is she fun is she gay?
I’ll lay down the law yeah I’ll lay down the law Said I’ll lay down the law, yeah I know what I saw
Remember when her ivory skin Was so perfect in every way And all of the boys used to say
Oh she’s beautiful . . . Maybe today I can walk her to school I’ll stand up real tall, and I’ll try to act cool But now they just all look away I love you anyway
A trick a treat, they throw apples they rot in your street It’s a lave, it’s a grave, it’s the stink on a hot summer day
Yeah I think I can swim yeah I think I can swim Said I think I can swim yeah go on go on go on go on and push me in
Acetylene torch, I sit on my porch And wait on the sun to go down Turn out the lights, seal out the sights And sink without a sound
It’s beautiful . . . Now all the boys have gone off to school And soon all the eyes will be winking at you And I’ll just be fading away I’ll love you anyway
