She walks into the outhouse
The cold night breathes into her face
The flies are standing still now
The moon it spills through the place

And she starts wondering it's like to be liked by everyone
And like everyone be just like anyone
And just wants to be so just like anyone

She reaches through the darkness
Her fingers touch the porcelain seat
She spins and pulls her pants down
The cold air holds her like a thief

She starts wondering what they mean, do they just mean to be mean
And thinking about the scene, do they just want to be seen
And trying not to seem so just like anyone

The door comes screeching open
She walks into the evening air
She disappears in the darkness
All that's left's the faint smell of her hair

She's done wondering what it's like to be liked by everyone
And like everyone be just like anyone
And just wants to be so just like anyone
And wondering what they mean, do they just mean to be mean
And thinking about the scene, do they just want to be seen
And trying not to seem so just like anyone

    General Comment:I hope you're all joking. Haven't you ever heard the saying "They shit the same way like everyone else?", in other words as badass as your hero's are, well imagine them on the toilet. It makes them human doesn't?

    General Comment:Wow, if all she does in the outhouse is THINK then I guess I've been listening to way too much shock-rock...

    General Comment:This song will forever remind me of Claire Danes. Who didn't want Danes in the mid 90's?

    General Comment:Outhouses huh? I don't see too many of those. Maybe she's wondering what it's like to be other people because everyone else has indoor plumbing.

    General Comment:she thinks about society and how she wants to be like everybody else, or maybe everybody pretends to be different for attention, and she ponders all of this while she's alone in an outhouse.
