Well, my name is Mathias and I came to say this:
I've got a big bushy beard and kissable lips
And I carry all my fat in my ass and my hips
And the rest of me is skinny as a stick
In the sixties, my mom was thin and mini-skirted
She was raised as a Catholic, but then she converted
Because she loved my dad's religion; she loved him, too
And that's how I was born a Jew
They lived and went to school in Buffalo
But my dad decided that they had to go
Because the Vietnam War would not be good for his health
And that's how I was born in the Commonwealth
Where we're born and when we die, we can't control that
And life in between is war and combat
There are targets you can shoot for, mines to circumvent,
but, most of life is an accident.
I've spent time in Peterborough, and in Winnipeg
And leaving is living: just use your legs
'Cause everywhere is nice if you drink enough beer
So some days I'm there, and some days I'm here.
And it's not about sowing my wild oats or whatever
I sowed my oats when I was young and I thought i was clever
And my oats all rotted in the field where they lay
And I'm oat-less and unemployed these days.
So I have a ukulele, I have a guitar
But I don't have a house or a kid or a car
I'd like to keep it that way as long as I can
But you know what they say about the best laid plans.
Where we're born and when we die, we can't control that
And life in between is war and combat
There are targets you can shoot for, mines to circumvent,
but, most of life is an accident.
And an accident is something that you don't plan
Like the Y chromozome between a woman and a man
One day I might get hit by a bus or get cancer
(or just stay on )
But right now all I am is a fabulous dancer
So dance with me, baby! Put your hands on my hips
Kiss my aforementioned kissable lips
Wherever we are, that's where we're at
My name is Mathias and I came to say that.
