Lately I need a better plan |
|
I want to get my knees out in the dirt |
|
My hands |
|
'Cause I have been a cerebral spouse |
|
And my head wants to go into the emerald house |
|
And I want to look out, |
|
I don't want to bail out, |
|
And I want to help out, |
|
I don't want to nod out |
|
I don't want to help out, |
|
I don't want to bet out, |
|
I don't want to look out, |
|
I don't want to nod out |
|
I don't want to knock you down, |
|
I don't want to knock you down |
|
I don't want to knock you down, |
|
I don't want to knock you down |
|
I don't want to knock you down, |
|
I don't want to knock you down |
|
I don't want to knock you down, |
|
I don't want to knock you down |
|
But why am I still looking for a golden age? |
|
You tell me that I ought to have a golden wage |
|
Every time I look up at that blurry sun |
|
All I think about are bodies floating up |
|
Everybody ought to get that special glance |
|
Why does dawn leave everybody home with chance? |
|
Makes me wonder how I even wrote this song |
|
Does this not occur to almost everyone? |
|
It makes a monkey wretch |
|
It makes a monkey rich |
|
It makes a monkey wretch |
|
It makes a monkey rich |
|
It makes a monkey wretch, 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
|
It makes a monkey rich 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
|
It makes a monkey wretch, 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
|
It makes a monkey rich 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
|
And lately I want to be in my heart |
|
But where exactly is my heart and where does it start? |
|
(I don't want that Tylenol) |
|
Can I sing and make change without crushing clams? |
|
I can help the little things but I have big plans |
|
(I don't want that Tylenol) |
|
So I want to look out, |
|
I don't want to bail out, |
|
And I want to help out, |
|
I don't want to nod out |
|
I don't want to look out, |
|
I don't want to bet out, |
|
I don't want to help out, |
|
I don't want to nod out |
|
I don't want to knock you down, |
|
I don't want to knock you down |
|
I don't want to knock you down, |
|
I don't want to knock you down |
|
I don't want to knock you down, |
|
I don't want to knock you down |
|
I don't want to knock you down, |
|
I don't want to knock you down |
|
But why am I still looking for a golden age? |
|
You tell me that I ought to have a golden wage |
|
Every time I look up at that blurry sun |
|
All I think about are bodies floating up |
|
Everybody ought to get that special glance |
|
Why does dawn leave everybody home with chance? |
|
Makes me wonder how I even wrote this song |
|
Does this not occur to almost everyone? |
|
It makes a monkey wretch |
|
It makes a monkey rich |
|
It makes a monkey wretch |
|
It makes a monkey rich |
|
It makes a monkey wretch, 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
|
It makes a monkey rich 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
|
It makes a monkey wretch, 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
|
It makes a monkey rich 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
|
Why am I still looking for a golden age? |
|
You tell me that I ought to have a golden wage |
|
Every time I look up at that blurry sun |
|
All I think about are spirits floating up |
|
Everybody ought to get that special glance |
|
Why does dawn leave everybody home with chance? |
|
Makes me wonder how I even wrote this song |
|
Does this not occur to almost everyone? |
|
It makes a monkey wretch |
|
It makes a monkey rich |
|
It makes a monkey wretch |
|
It makes a monkey rich |
|
It makes a monkey wretch, 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
|
It makes a monkey rich 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
|
It makes a monkey wretch, 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
|
It makes a monkey rich 'ey, 'ey, 'ey |
