Itchyhead Lyrics

There's a baby
With an itchy head
Pour water on it
I'll take a knife so I can
Take a weight off
Umm
I'm 65
Nobody in my family knows I'm alive
Hey little girl
I would've cut your hair off
Hey little girl
So I can
Pour water on it
So I can take knife
And I will
I'm 99
And I'm in jail
I wish I could have a million kids
A million girls
I would cut their hair off
And I would
Pour water on them
So I can take knife
With that knife
I could pour
Water on them
One, two, three, four

I always thought it was some weird cannibalistic musings, because I thought the lyrics were as follows;

There's a baby With an itchy head Pour butter on it I'll take a knife so I can Take a bite pour butter on I'm 65 Nobody in my family knows I'm alive Hey little girl I would've(wanna?) cut your hair off Hey little girl So I can Pour butter on it So I can take bite And I will(would?) I'm 99 And I'm in jail I wish I could have a million kids A million girls I would cut their hair off And I would Pour butter on them So I can take bite With that(my?) knife I could pour Butter on them One, two, three, four

I don't think it means anything but just generic craziness. Just her pretending to live through the eyes of a lunatic. It is a great song nonetheless, and one of the great examples of how amazing her music USED to be. She has really gone downhill since the release of her latest stuff, particularly Jukebox and the Greatest. It just isn't the same feel :(
