Cookie Jar
I was a girl, in her mother’s heels and lipstick
Swore I would change the world someday
You were a boy, in his daddy’s shirt and tie
Standing on a chair, with his hand in the cookie jar
I wrote my songs, while you named the bugs you’d captured
Forgotten and thrown away
Told me I was, such a pretty pretty butterfly
But wait - I seem to recall you framing them alive
“Change” you said
“Change” you said
Everything’s wrong
Your makeup’s not right does that dress really fit dear
I’m a porcelain doll on a golden stage
Don’t break me don’t break me
Oh
I tapped danced on wires, and I ate the nails you fed me
Only spoke when I was spoken to
Take it all take it all take it I’m falling
Tell me you’re ready to go
“Change” you said
“Change” you said
Everything’s wrong
Your makeup’s not right does that dress really fit dear
I’m a porcelain doll on a golden stage
Don’t break me don’t break me
Oh
(x2)
I was a girl, in her mother’s heels and lipstick
Swore I would change the world someday
You were a boy, in his daddy’s shirt and tie
Standing on a chair, with his hand in the cookie jar
