Garbage - When I Grow Up Lyrics




Cut my tongue out.
I've been caught out
Like a giant juggernaut.
Happy lovers
Ache for hours,
On a cruise to freak you out.
We could fly out
Helicopter,
Nothing left to talk about.
Entertain you.
Celebrate you.
I'll be back to frame you.

When I grow up,
I'll be stable.
When I grow up,
I'll turn the tables.

Trying hard to
Fit among you.
Floating out to Wonderland.
Unexpected.
Unprotected.
Feel the consequences.

When I grow up,
I'll be stable.
When I grow up,
I'll turn the tables.

Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba-ah-ah.
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba-ah-ah.

Blood and blisters
On my fingers.
Chaos rules
When we're apart.
Watch my temper.
I go mental.
I'll try to be gentle.

When I grow up,
I'll be stable.
When I grow up,
I'll turn the tables.

When I grow up,
When I grow up,
When I grow up,
I'll turn the tables.

Don't take offense.
Better make amends.
Rip it all to shreds and let it go.
Don't take offense.
Better make amends.
Rip it all to shreds and let it go.

Sha la la la la la
[Sha la la la la la] Rip it all to shreds and let it go.
[Sha la la la la la]
[Sha la la la la la] Rip it all to shreds and let it go.

[Sha la la la la la] [Ba ba ba ba. Ba ba ba ba.]
[Sha la la la la la] [Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-ah-ah.] Rip it all to shreds and let it go!
[Sha la la la la la] [Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-ah-ah.]
AHHHHHH!!! [Sha la la la la la] [Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba-ah-ah.]

Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba-ah-ah.
