One, two, five, nine
Cozied up to the toilet
Face stuck to the floor
I met expectations that
I was tryin to ignore
Job had such patience
I wonder, what's that like?
One hundred thousand million
But I hear
That's what you like
So I was thinkin
So these cities are sprouting
Like a spit in the eye
And this world isn't waiting
It's just passing me by
I just peak in the window
Lookin inside
The butcher's got a fork in your face
I'm standing alive
And I was singin

From hiponline:
Q: Where did "I Was a Teenage Hand Model" come from?
Josh: I moved to Seattle before the whole Screaming Trees thing and I just wanted to move somewhere where I didn't know anybody and where the whole music scene was just dead. Everyone I knew in San Francisco was on drugs, and everyone in San Diego and LA just weren't doing it. So I went to Seattle, because I still wanted to be on the West Coast. So I was in this bar, there's a lot of bitter people there, especially music types. Anyway, I'm in this bar and there's this guy saying the stupidest bitter drunk rant about how he was a model when he was young. He was just a toothless bum screaming about being a child actor, model and shit.
