  • Where do I put this fire
    This bright red feeling
    This tiger lily down to mouth
    He wants to grow to twenty feet tall

    I've left Bethlehem
    I feel free
    I've left the girl I was supposed to be and
    Someday I'll be born
    I'm so tired of being shy
    I'm not that girl anymore
    I'm not that straight A anymore
    I want to sit with my legs wide open and
    Laugh so loud that the whole damn restaurant
    Will turn and look at me and say
    Look at the tiger jumping out of her mouth

    No more sex-starved teachers
    Trying to touch my ass
    I can finally be a teenager at age twenty-six
    Go to hell lions, tigers, and bears
    I'm not afraid of you anymore
    And my fear broke apart like fifty balloons
    And I'm thrown around the room like party confetti now

    Someday I'll be born
    Someday someday someday I'll be born
    Someday someday someday I'll be born
    High and noon
    High and noon
    High and noon
    High and noon
    High and noon
    High and noon
    High and noon
    High and noon
    High and noon
    High and noon
    High and noon
    High and noon
    High and noon Writer/s: PAULA COLE
