I Don't Wanna Grow Up Lyrics - Bone Machine - Tom Waits

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night 

I don't wanna grow up 

Nothin' ever seems to turn out right 

I don't wanna grow up 

How do you move in a world of fog 

That's always changing things 

Makes me wish that I could be a dog 

When I see the price that you pay 

I don't wanna grow up 

I don't ever wanna be that way 

I don't wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things 

That they'd never want 

The only thing to live for 

Is today... 

I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set 

I don't wanna grow up 

Open up the medicine chest 

And I don't wanna grow up 

I don't wanna have to shout it out 

I don't want my hair to fall out 

I don't wanna be filled with doubt 

I don't wanna be a good boy scout 

I don't wanna have to learn to count 

I don't wanna have the biggest amount 

I don't wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight 

I don't wanna grow up 

They all go out and drinking all night 

And I don't wanna grow up 

I'd rather stay here in my room 

Nothin' out there but sad and gloom 

I don't wanna live in a big old Tomb 

On Grand Street 

When I see the 5 o'clock news 

I don't wanna grow up 

Comb their hair and shine their shoes 

I don't wanna grow up 

Stay around in my old hometown 

I don't wanna put no money down 

I don't wanna get me a big old loan 

Work them fingers to the bone 

I don't wanna float a broom 

Fall in love and get married then boom 

How the hell did I get here so soon 

I don't wanna grow up
