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
 Cecame 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
