“10 Feet Tall” is described in Cavetown’s bandcamp song page as:
(For my pals Mike and Alex)
This is about how I want people to think I’m cool and big and scary, but that’d probably lead to me becoming very lonely, so for now I’ll be soft.
[Verse 1]
I wanna be ten feet tall
I wanna grow big red horns
Fingers covered in thorns
That pierce everythin'
I wanna be ten feet tall
I wanna eat fire and snow
I wanna scare everyone
[Verse 2]
I want to collect swords
Stab my walls when I'm bored
Wear clothes made of old socks
Which are missin' their pairs
I wanna be ten feet tall
I wanna eat fire and snow
I wanna scare everyone
[Chorus]
Climb over the circus walls
Finally feel at home
Cotton candy floss
Haunted houses, ghosts
I wanna feed the ducks
I wanna eat some stones
Sink down to the bed
Finally feel at home
Finally feel at home
Finally feel at home
Finally feel at home
[Bridge]
My teeth fallin' out again
The dentist called my name
I didn't answer him
I feel it in my guts
I'd tear them piece by piece
But I don't care enough
For Centre 33
Now I wanna be ten feet tall
With big red horns
Five star banquet
Twenty course
I got no friends
I feel so ill
I'm so dang tall and
Growin' still
[Outro]
I wanna be ten feet tall
I wanna grow big red horns
Fingers covered in thorns
That pierce everythin'
I wanna be ten feet tall
I wanna eat fire and snow
I wanna scare everyone
