Ironical



Well, maybe I should quit my smoking
Or maybe I should buy a dog
Or maybe you just want me crawling
Like kind of freak towards your door
There's so much that I cannot find out
Or maybe I'm too dumb to grasp
Sometimes you treat me like I'm cutie
Sometimes as if I will I'm weird thing
If you would get to know me better
You'll realize I change so quick
 
Maybe it really would be better
I want to bring you all my dolls
With awful holes in their heads
They look so queasy
But I hadn't been expected to be a girl
And maybe I should really show you
I walk through words you'll never be
But you don't want to know me better
My insignificance so plain to see

And I scream I scream at your face
Don't tell me that you tried this
Don't say you felt the pain
I know nobody's dying from pure summer rain
Don't tell me that you got it
Don't say it was a thrill
I know nobody's dying from strawberry ice cream
