"Canary" lyrics - LIZ PHAIR

I learn my name
I write with a number two pencil
I work up to my potential
I earn my pay

I come when called
I jump when you circle the cherry
I sing like a good canary
I come when called
I come, that's all

Send it up on fire
Deaf before dumb
Send it up on fire
Deaf before dumb

I clean the house
I put all your books in an order
I make up a colorful border
I clean my mouth
'Cause froth comes out

Send it up on fire
Deaf before dumb
Send it up on fire
Deaf before dumb
