Versuri Bethlehem
- Paula Cole

Pulling on the apron strings looking up
Standing on the chair to be grown up
I feel so little, I need my pillow
I hate the time, I hate the clock
I want to be a dog or I want to be a rock.

Sunday's pancakes Miss Mary Mack
Color Polariods show my heart attack
In my second-hand pants and dusty shoes
The day that the playground laughed at my shoes
It's my birthday next week and what I want please
Is to turn on the heat so the fish won't freeze
The fish in the tank froze and died last week
Oh I want to be a dog or I want to be a leaf.

Quarry miners, fishermen
In my town of Bethlehem
Picket fences, church at ten
No star above my Bethlehem.

Now I'm only 16 and I think I have an ulcer
I'm hiding my s*x behind a dirty sweatshirt
I've lost five pounds these past few days

Trying to be class president and get straight A's, well,
Who gives a s***t about that anyway?
I want to be a dog or a lump of clay.

Chorus.

Still I'm tired of standing still
Tired of living - still
Everyday I dream of leaving.

Everybody's talking about Becky's bust
The boys on the basketball team just f***k
The same ten girls, who don't know who they are
They're looking for some comfort in the back of a car
The six-packs of beer, the locker room jeers
I don't want to be me, I don't want to be here.

Chorus.

Red brick schoolhouse, dead end dirt roads, daffodils
No star above my Bethlehem.

I want to be a dog or I want to be a rock
I don't want to be me, I don't want to be here
Bethlehem
