Pigeontoed

[Verse 1]
My makeshift mother in the bathroom with a can of hairspray
And her arthritic hand, it's fallin' down
And my father in a public stupor
Was he drunk and lonely?
I dreamt of men to replace them
I dreamt of men who would touch me
Their hands would tell me that I wasn't dirty

[Chorus]
In my thrift store clothes, a hunchback and a runny nose
Always broken, pigeontoed
I was a grade school joke, ha, ha, ha, ha
Like a little old lady, like a little old lady
Too old, too early

[Verse 2]
Oh, and I moved to the city
I met a smart boy with a good family
And I thought that we would get married
I thought I would get to be carried
But I grew too, too big and too, too bright
Too hot to hold, I
Moved on, well, I moved on
And I moved on, and I moved on

[Chorus]
In my thrift store clothes, a hunchback and a runny nose
Always broken, pigeontoed
I was a grade school joke, ha, ha, ha, ha
Like a little old lady, like a little old lady
Too old, too early

[Bridge]
Nobody can touch me, nobody could ever love me
Why do I still feel dirty and why do you tell me I'm pretty?
Oh, I take a lover, yeah, I take cover home
And make sure I never, ever fall
I make my plans, I make those plans
'Cause you know I wanna have it all

[Chorus]
In my thrift store clothes, a hunchback and a runny nose
Always broken, pigeontoed
I was a grade school joke, ha, ha, ha, ha
Like a little old lady, like a little old lady
Too old, too early

[Outro]
How can I, how can I, how can I go on?
How can I, how can I, how can I move on?
How can I, how can I, how can I go on?
How can I, how can I?
