Lyrics The Lemon Twigs

The Lemon Twigs

The Bully

Shane, I'm waiting

For you inside the bathroom stall

Anticipating

Your footsteps coming down the hall

As I stay still

Something makes me I'll

My eyes grow wide and fill

They fill with tears

Visions haunt me

Just as they did when I was young

My poor father

Was given Robert as a son

Robert being me

Shamed the family

Slow as slow could be

While his father had a PhD

Please have mercy

I'm doing everything I can

Robert Senior politely

Asked his son to stand

Do you wanna know why

Your mother died?

When you were born

She couldn't bear to raise a boy like you

She just couldn't hack it

Her body attacked itself

By the time the birth was through

She was gone!

Gone!

Shane, I waited

To smash your head against the wall

My self-hatred

Makes me feel like I want it all

Unclose my eyes

Listen to your cries

And try to feel my size

But my father's voice just won't subside

Ahhhhhhhh

Bah-aahhhhh

Ahhhhhhhh

Bah-ahhhhhh
