My hair was long & shining
You said you can't believe
How could I walk out that door
Or walk along the streets
You told me I should "you know, do some bing bang curly wurly afro thing"
I took your word & did
Looked in my mirror "Who's that freak?"
＊Why does the world deceive
Why do I make believe
Took my heel & made Achilles out of me
Still I would wanna be
Someone who'd answer to me
Someone who sees like a child
Gives like a saint Feels like an angel
Never mind the broken wings and
Speaks like a picture
Cries like the rain Shines like the star
As long as the fire remains
The vase beside my bed
It's empty almost dead
"It's for all the flowers I'm gonna give you" he said
And now it's collecting dust instead
repeat ＊
