I'm a punk
Walking into a room
People acting like they wouldn't care if I left soon
I'm the one
Laughing way too loud
And you'll never have trouble picking me out of a crowd
I'm not rich
Talk is cheap, you see
But I've got all these birdies tryin to pigeonhole me
That won't fly
I'm just out to have fun
Who else u know calls a swimming pool a natatarium?
Play with words, synonyms
You're not fast, you're just slim
I'm the reaper, you're grim
You're a good antonym
Like a verbal violin
You're a screech, I'm a hymn
But nobody ever wins
When you're dust in the wind.
I'm a girl
Underneath the street lights
Hearing Mom yell at Dad until they quit for the night
Like a drug
That I take too much
I just try to leave the house when enough is enough
I'm a woman
Comfortable alone
Doesn't want to turn shelter into that kind of a home
So I go
The travel bug bit me
And I don't settle down like a hippie gypsy
Play with sentences and verbs
I'm the city, you're the burbs
I'm the bike, you're the curb
You don't move, I can swerve
If you ever get the nerve
Choice of straightaway or curve
Take the one that makes you curse
And put it in your next verse
Cuz it can't be much worse
Than what I pull out of my verbal purse
