I Wanted Anything

As a kid
I’d get scratch tickets
Instead of gifts

They’d come wrapped in newspaper
And arrive in greeting cards
But they were never on my Christmas list

I wanted anything
But what I got
I wanted anything
But what I got

And as a teenager
The gifts got stranger and stranger
And as a teenager
The gifts got stranger and stranger

There was one year
You robbed the liquor store
I got a bottle of soda
And a bag of candy
And later in that same year
You laughed and laughed
When all my fucking teeth fell out

I wanted anything
But what I got
I wanted anything
But what I got
