lyrics

TRANQUILIZER GUN

the monster
that used to live inside your closet
has crawled into your outgrown bed
he’s messin’ nightly with your molting hormone-crazed head

some nights you want to scream
under those covers
and the bikini posters don’t help
pillows don’t smother any pain

hey there lonely, bored and horny
you’re not the only one
you wish that you were numb
put down that tranquilizer gun
put down that tranquilizer gun

mmmm...la la la la
you’re still so young
though you could swear
you’d count one hundred million sheep
and not fall asleep
fall asleep

you won’t tell dad
you can’t tell mom
afraid that everybody will tell you it’s wrong
but they felt the same way once
and fired their tranquilizer guns
one way or another
caged the monster
or took a lover

your time will come
