|
The rain starts off and it wakes you up |
|
You can't sleep with that racket on the roof |
|
You get up slow but you can't get going |
|
It seems this morning the lowness has won |
|
Did you stop to see? Mediocrity and your self pity, |
|
They were stealing a kiss, look at their lips, still shiny |
|
Did you notice that happiness |
|
Happens less the more often you stop to find where it's been hiding |
|
You say, \"It's not my fault that I get so low |
|
There's a weight on my soul that just keeps pulling me down, |
|
It's pulling me down, I swear it\" |
|
So come on by my house and unleash me your monsters |
|
With you at the healm we'll go crashing around together |
|
Don't mistake some initial hate for something more that cautionary |
|
Cause baby this is love, I'll come down to hell to keep you company |
|
Of all the days we've got we should be screaming out... |
|
Of all the days we've got we should be singing... |
|
What's to be done? One hundred and one |
|
In a tent for twelve with fingers and elbows |
|
In innocent ribs, we're minding our business |
|
We're just minding our business instead of minding our minds |
|
In times when the storms will ravage your clothes, |
|
The sound and the colour could render you blind |
|
And the throes of a nightmare can sing you to sleep |
|
Then some foreign machine wakes you up at a mean hour |
|
But heaven is there, under your hair, |
|
It hides in the noon noise way up in the air |
|
Like a bird on the breeze |
|
Waiting for you and maybe me too |
|
Whats there to do? One hundred and two |
|
Are out on the doorstep and they're pushing the bolts back |
|
They're wanting in, they're humming our hymn |
|
Everybodys singing like beautiful birds... |
|
In the trees, listen to it, it's easy man, you can do it too |
|
Sing: I know what I want |
|
I know what I need |
|
Cause it's the simplest thing |
|
Of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out... |
|
Of all the nights we touch we should be swinging around from house to house |
|
If I could cheer you up it would mean so much, |
|
Clowns in love and laughing it off, laughing it off, laughing it off |
|
You say, \"its not my fault that I get so low |
|
But to drown you too, that's a sick way to love, it's a sick way to love, |
|
It's a fucking sick way to love\" |
