Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was a boy
I thought about the times I′d be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle
And pretend that I was in the can
[Verse 2]
But in my lonely room I sit
My mind is an ice cream cone
Yeah
You can throw me if you wanna
'Cause I'm a bone and I go oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah, hmmm
[Verse 3]
Well, if I don′t start cryin′
It's because that I have got no eyes
My father′s in the fireplace
And my dog lies hypnotized
[Verse 4]
But through a crack of light
I was unable to find my way
Trapped inside a night
But I'm a day and I go oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah
