[Verse 1]
When I was 8
I was sure
I was growing nerves
Like steel in my palm
Make a map of what you see
Direct pain effectively
I was 8
I was sure
I was growing pains
Like lead in my feet
S.O.S. to my mother
Take the hinges off the door
S.O.S. to my mother
Take the hinges off the door
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, sugar spell it out
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out[x2]
Like O, like H in your gut[x3]
In your gut
S.O.S., S.O.S
[Verse 2]
When I was four plus a ten
I was swinging fists
Like nails in a board
Pull your hands inside of you
Six years 'till I'll be through
I was four plus a ten
I was swinging back
Like a race to be sure
S.O.S. to my mother
Take the hinges off the door
S.O.S. to my mother
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, sugar spell it out
Like oh, oh, sugar spell it out[x2]
Like O, like H in your gut[x3]
In your gut
S.O.S., S.O.S
