lyrics

Gave a 10-month old (a shape o ball) / She watched it roll (she couldn’t crawl) / Fit a square into a square / and tugged her mom’s hair / Gave an awful cry when the cat skittered by / While she took a nap, I molded a new shape / One that would never fit / I knew it would never fit / She woke up to food and noise / Then down on the floor she played with her toys / She screamed and she shit / Because the shape wouldn’t fit / Did it haunt her when she closed her eyes? /When she was 10 she saw it again / In a box of toys to give away / She tried once again to no success / And she ran for her scissors in her Sunday dress / She cut the corners until it was ball / It slid in through but that wasn’t all / It fell out somewhere in the backyard that day / And she threw that shape o ball away
