"Big Bad Bubble Boy" lyrics

Boy

Big bad bubble boy
First time out with a brand new toy
Sucks the blood out of your thumb
Like a toddler with a Capri-Sun
He's empty, aching, grinding, shaking
Wide-eyed, tie-dyed, deep-fried
It's his first time
But I've been here the whole time, the whole time...

Like a monkey on his back
Like a New York City rat
We all know that
You can't put the boy back

Shake it out of me, shake it out of me, shake it out
Shake it out of me, shake it out of me, shake it out
Shake it out of me, shake it out of me, shake it out
Shake it out of me, shake it out of me

Big bubble boy
Watch him search, watch him destroy
Bad bubble boy
Broken glass and Sigmund Freud

Like a monkey on his back
Like a New York City rat
We all know that
You can't put the boy back
But you can...

Shake it out of me, shake it out of me, shake it out
Shake it out of me, shake it out of me, shake it out
Shake it out of me, shake it out of me, shake it out
Shake it out of me, shake it out of me

Like a monkey on his back
Like a seagull with a snack
Like a New York City rat
(Laughter)

Shake it out of me, shake it out of me, shake it out
Shake it out of me, shake it out of me, shake it out
Shake it out of me, shake it out of me
Shake it out of me

Fell in love with the first time, for the last time
Fell in love with the first time, for the last time
That's fantastic
And I want it
But I can't have it
I'm the bubble boy
Wrapped in plastic
