I Don't Want to Come Out

(from the CD Stark Raving Songs)

There are no noisy neighbors here
For me to worry about
I'm not as dumb as you might think
I don't want to come out.

I don't need to hammer on the wall
And I don't need to shout
I don't need anything at all
I don't want to come out

I've no desire to see the world
Or be an eagle scout
Can't you get the message?
I don't want to come out.

Get them forceps out of here
Don't you make me cry
Why do you want to pull me out
And ruin my entire life?

I don't want to get sunburned
I don't want to get gout
Why can't you get it through your head
I don't want to come out?

I don't want to be a hero
I don't want to be a lout
What part don't you understand?
I don't want to come out.

You think I'm too young to know
But I don't have any doubt
I'm telling you now for the very last time
I don't want to come out.

I don't want to come out
I don't want to tell you again
I don't want to spend my life
Trying to get back in.
