Kid Dreams

So there I was  fifteen  stuck in
High school was no prom king
Zoned out in a daydream of a
Pretty girl  my own beauty queen
I was too shy to talk
I was round and soft
All the kids would drawl: "You got some beady eyes  boy"
Then I'd start to shrink
Came too hard to see
They got what they need
I got the beady eyes
You can get what you want
Make a plea to the dark
Not as hard as it seems  kid dreams
What did I want
What did I need
I got three squares a day  I got a bed for sleep
I couldn't shake a deep belief in a
Pretty girl who would save me
And then sure enough  they would call my bluff
They'd jab and trip me up
Hit right between the eyes  boy
Fill my cuts with salt
Slowly I'd dissolve
That was all they saw  boy with beady eyes
You can get what you want
Make a plea to the dark
Not as hard as it seems  kid dreams
Oh God now here she comes
My perfect lady luck
I never did give up  I never did give up
The once and future king
The best it's ever been
If only they could see  see with my beady eyes  boy
