When I was eight 
I was sure I was growing nerves 
Like steel in my palm 
Make a map of what you see 
Direct pain effectively 

I was eight 
I was sure I was growing pains 
Like lead in my feet 
SOS to my mother 
Take the hinges off the door 
SOS to my mother 
Take the hinges off the door

SOS 
Then I was four plus a ten 
I was swinging fists 

Like nails in a board 
Pull your hands inside of you 
Six years until I'll be through 
I was four plus a ten 
I was swinging back 

Like a race to be sure 
SOS to my mother 
Take the hinges off the door 
SOS to my mother 
Take the hinges off the door 
SOS to my mother 
Take the hinges off the door
