Big Boys
I am starting to functionIn the usual wayEverything is so provocativeVery very, temporaryI shall walk (I shall walk)Out of this place (out of this place)I shall walkOut on you'Cause you go sillyIf she's willingTrying so hard to be like the big boysSo you take her to the picturesTrying to become a fixtureInch by inch trying to reach herAll the way through the second featureWorrying about your physical fitnessTell me how you got this sickness, oh ohhhh..I was caught in the suctionBy a face like a truncheonI was down upon one kneeStroking her vanityI was stuck on a hammerheadSongtexteI came alive and left for deadAs my face returned to redChoking on my pride and pityWe can talk (we can talk)Until your face is blue ('til your face is blue)We can talk but she'll get to youAfter you've been loved and hatedBy the ones you've watched and waitedFound that they were overratedShe'll be the one - when the party's overShe'll be the one - when the girls have gone homeShe'll be the one - that you'll wish you'd held ontoShe'll be the one - but it's too late for you toShe'll be the one - who knows all your historyShe'll be the one -So you can cross her off your listAnd you try so hardAnd you try so hardAnd you try so hardTo be like the big boys, oh.
