You can hold her hand and show her how you cry
Explain to her your weakness so she understands and then roll over and die
Well you can brave decisions before you crumble up inside
Spend your time asking everyone else's permission and then run away and hide
You can sit on chimneys put some fire up your ass
No need to know what you're doing or waiting for but if any one should ask?
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins and we've been hanging out
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins and relieve us our doubt
, , , , (X2)
You can hold her eggs But your basket has a hole
You can lie between her legs And go lookin' for:
Tell her you're searching for her soul!
You can wait for ages and watch your compost turn to coal
But time is contagious: Everybody's getting old.
You can sit on chimneys put some fire up your ass
No need to know what you're doing or looking for but if any one should ask?
Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins and we've been hanging out
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins and relieve us our doubt
