She puts down her storybooks Doesn't like the way she looks Takes off her nightgown and starts a parade Feelings of pleasure and distant cascades Dances when she's home alone Stuffed bears, marijuana smoke Take off the training wheels, go for a ride Explore yourself and explore the outside I wear spikes while she wears pretty dress But I buy candy while she buys cigarettes With Ludo and Hoggle Takes her makeup off the shelf Sees herself as someone else Life in a bubble is all that she knows Distant from family and distant from home Monsters take her by the hand Shows her the forbidden lands Lost and afraid, yet a curious ride (Wee!) Embrace the rocket and shoot for the skies I wear spikes while she wears pretty dress But I buy candy while she buys cigarettes With Ludo and Hoggle She drinks her booze Still puts on her favorite tunes What's she got to lose While the sweet concept of time Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on And I wear spikes while she wears pretty dress But I buy candy while she buys cigarettes While Ludo and Hoggle do their best While the bird in a time marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on Marches on, marches on "Wow Billy, great moves, keep it up"
