What If?

These smiley face pijamas

And this rainbow kitten mug

Have gotta go

What if I throw them both away?

They're comfy but they chain me

To this anvil of a couch

In a defensive crouch

Afraid to go and play

I know the rules

Be sunny, honey, close those knees

Clorox offensive thoughts

And you'll prevent disease

It's like a show

Where every song's the same reprise

Oh

But breaking out is dangerous

I know the party game

Be small and tame

Or we will maim you in your sleep

So buy the fuzzy pencils

Wear the t-shirts with the hearts

Let any darts or weapons sink into the deep

And find the boy

A six or seven out of ten

Who cracks a joke you laugh at

Every now and then

You know you'll fall in love

Although you wonder when

Oh

What if I tried to change this ever-looping tune?

What if I let them see the dark side of my moon?

My brain is like a video store

With a big restricted section door

With lots of cool stuff hiding in the ultraviolet light

What if I let somebody see me tonight?

I could be that girl from anthro class

Who felt no shame or guilt

And wore the kilt

With the fishnets and the Vans

I remember what she said that time

She passed me in the quad

"Your Diet Coke is oppression in a can"

She thought she sized me up

In a single glance

She never noticed me in afro-cuban dance

She'd never think I'd go

And buy some plastic pants

Soooo!

What if I cut the tags and took these for a spin?

What if they're worth contracting yeast infections in?

Try to put me in a box but baby I'm a paradox

Ohhh!

What if I let some other parts outside the vault
