[Verse 1]
She puts down her storybooks
Doesn't like the way she looks
Takes off her nightgown and starts a parade
Feelings of pleasure and distant cascades
Dances when she's home alone
Stuffed bears, marijuana smoke
Take off the training wheels, go for a ride
Explore yourself and explore the outside

[Chorus]
I wear spikes while she wears pretty dress
But I'd buy candy while she buys cigarettes
With Ludo and Hoggle

[Verse 2]
Takes her makeup off the shelf
Sees herself as someone else
Life in a bubble is all that she knows
Distant from family and distant from home
Monsters take her by the hand
Shows her the forbidden lands
Lost and afraid, yet a curious ride (Wee!)
Embrace the rocket and shoot for the skies

[Chorus]
I wear spikes while she wears pretty dress
But I'd buy candy while she buys cigarettes
With Ludo and Hoggle
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
She drinks her booze
Still puts on her favorite tunes
What's she got to lose
While the sweet concept of time marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on

[Chorus]
And I wear spikes while she wears pretty dress
But I'd buy candy while she buys cigarettes
While Ludo and Hoggle do their best
While the burden of time marches on

[Outro]
Marches on, marches on
Marches on, marches on
Marches on
"Wow, Billy, great moves, keep it up"
