on "The Best of Bitesize" this track is listed as:
Switch Hitter - 1998 from the album "Freaks of Nature"

lyrics

it's the bottom of the ninth the winning run is on third
and i am bored to death standing out in left field
and i would rather be sitting in the bleachers
hanging with the girl in the yellow t-shirt
she smiles like she's awaiting a curtain call
waves her arms around like she is magical
i stick out of the ground like a tombstone
i blew the big play and fractured my collar bone

a year from now i'll be the center of attention
(i swear my mind's made up)
after i have had my sex change operation

i could look you in the eye and i could make you nervous
thinking that i look like i was 60 celsius
and you could clown around and make a couple wisecracks
and i could laugh along like a broken laugh track
i'll smile like i'm awaiting a curtain call
wave my arms around like i'm magical
brought back down to earth by a curve ball
i threw the all star game and shattered my clavicle

chorus!
