Coming Soon to a Planet Near You

about

Introducing Kamikaze Cupcake, our heroine.
The childhood years.

lyrics

Kamikaze Cupcake wasn’t her original name.
It was Marilyn or Alice or Jane or something quite plain.
But once she went off to school in her little plaid dress,
shiny black shoes, white socks and all the rest,
She started to poke out from her Jane- cacoon.
She’s coming soon.

Our little Cupcake wasn’t like all the other girls.
When they gave her dolls she’d rather dissect them
than put their hair in curls.
The other Marilyns and Alice might sit and play tea,
but our little Cupcake had places to be.
Kamikaze Cupcake is coming soon, to a planet near you.

Kamikaze Cupcake is coming soon,
Kamikaze Cupcake has a brand new tune.
Kamikaze Cupcake has someone to be,
Kamikaze Cupcake is something to see.
Kamikaze Cupcake is coming soon, to a planet near you.

Cupcake didn’t really fit in but she didn’t much care.
It could have been because of her tattoos
or her neon pink hair.
She knew there was someone she was destined to be.
She tried everything once and some things three times.
Kamikaze Cupcake is coming soon to a planet near you.

Kamikaze Cupcake is coming soon.
Kamikaze Cupcake has entered the room.
Kamikaze Cupcake is on her way.
Kamikaze Cupcake has something to say.
Kamikaze Cupcake is coming soon, to a planet near you.
