But I feel stuck inside these clothes / I want to meet [?] / [?] human being / And even if it hurts to walk and people laugh / I know who I am / And even if it hurts to walk and I get beat up / I'm proud of my new clothes / Fashion statement, please / Another me, a better me

Fashion statement, please / Another me, better me / The fascination's lost / I'm searching 'cause I need new clothes / I want to make a dent / But I feel stuck inside these clothes / I throw up all I eat / So I can fit inside these clothes / And even if it hurts to walk / And people laugh / I know who I am / And even if it hurts to walk / And I get beat up / I'm proud of my new clothes / I'll never eat again / I'll suck my cheeks in, hold my breath / The people stop and stare at the emperor / The thing from mars / And even if it hurts to walk / And people laugh / I know who I am / And even if it hurts to walk / And I get beat up / I'm proud of my new clothes / And even if it hurts to walk / And people laugh / I know who I am / And even if it hurts to walk / And I get beat up / I'm proud of my funky clothes / And even if it hurts to walk / And people laugh / I know who I am / And even if it hurts to walk / And I get beat up / I'm proud of my funky clothes / Yeah, I'm so funky / Oh yeah, and my funky clothes / My funky clothes / (We can change the key there.) / (What?) / (If we had gone that second there, we could change the key of it.) / (Uh huh.) / (Lead into... that was the bridge, that's the bridge... so just take it somewhere else, just take it to another key. You see what I mean?) / (If you...) / ([?]) / (Well, it --)
