i am isis look it's morning head in the shower

spoon in my mouth just as i swallow my cereal

my mother comes and knocks me down

tacks a photo to my chest

as she hands me my birth certificate

but it's okay i say 'cause i was a bad child

and i cried and i asked too many questions

i pressed my face to the window and i played solitaire

and hold tight to my chair in case someone pull my hair

and no one can understand why i'm still crying

and no one can understand why i'm still crying

i live in tucson which is like p in a swimming pool

i am isis mouth full of candy

i dance naked in the backyard

i ride my bike to the corner store stop for a soda

but i am always a quarter short

but it's okay i say 'cause i made a wish today

it's okay it won't always be this way

i put my face to the window i play solitaire

and i hold tight to my chair

in case someone pulls my hair

and no one can understand why i'm still crying

and no one can understand why i'm still crying

parents are fighting

dragging each other on the ground

skid marks dog barks

broken tv too hot to sleep

divorce disease

we move so many times

but a home is easy easy to replace

like a child in a mother's eyes

like my mother's child

isis it's time to go away

my blood on a paper plate

but it's okay you say if she looks the other way

me oh

i am a sore throat i am the door slammed

the plane lifts off and the plane lands

i smell smoke coming from the last two rows

i am the kiss goodnight

now you sleep tight

everything will be alright

i press my face to the window and i play solitaire

i hold on tight to my chair

in case someone pulls my hair

and no one can understand why i'm still crying

and no one can understand why i'm still crying

i'm wearing my favorite dress but i'm still crying

and no one can understand why i'm still crying
