Paula Cole Lyrics for Song: Bethlehem
 Lyrics for Album: Harbinger
 
 
 
 2361>Pulling on the apron strings looking up
 Standing on the chair to be grown up
 I feel so little, I need my pillow
 I hate time I hate the clock
 I wanna be a dog or I wanna be a rock
 
 Sunday's pancakes, Miss mary mack
 Color polaroids show my heart attack
 In my second hand pants and dusty shoes
 The day that the playground laughed at my shoes
 
 Its my birthday next week and what I want please
 Is to turn on the heat so the fish wont freeze
 The fish in the tank froze and died last week
 Oh I wanna be a dog or I wanna be a leaf
 
 Chorus:
 Quarry miners fisherman in my town of bethlehem
 picket fences church at ten no star above my bethlehem
 
 Now im only 16 and I think I have an ulcer
 I'm hiding my sex behind a dirty sweatshirt
 I've lost 5 pounds these past few days
 Trying to be class president and get straight a's
 Well who gives a shit about that anyway
 I just wanna be a dog or a lump of clay
 
 Chorus:
 Quarry miners fisherman in my town of bethlehem
 picket fences church at ten no star above my bethlehem
 
 Still, I'm tired of standing still
 I'm tired of living still
 Everyday i dream of leaving
 
 Everyone's talking about Becky's bust
 The boys on the basketball just fuck
 The same ten girls who dont know who they are
 They're looking for some comfort in the back of a car
 The six pack of beer, the locker room jeers
 I don't wanna be me I dont wanna be here
 
 Chorus:
 Quarry miners fisherman in my town of bethlehem
 picket fences church at ten no star above my bethlehem
 
 Red brick school house
 Dead end dirt road, daffodils
 No star above my bethlehem
 I wanna be a dog or I wanna be a rock
 I dont wanna be me, Idont wanna here in bethlehem
