A             E              G                  D    A D A D
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 a can
A             C               G         D          A D A D
In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
           A             C                     G
You can throw me if you want to because I'm a bone and I go
G                     A
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!

If I don't start crying it's because that I have got no eyes
My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
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!
