Under These Rocks & Stones

When i go swimming in your intellect
The water's so shallow and the dialect
Is so phony but i eat it up like bologna
I can't get enough

Well i
Should end it
But i
Defend it
Well i
Can't recommend it
Cause i'm
Your co-dependent

When you go fishing
For a compliment
It's soooo
So obvious
But i can't help it
So i put up with it
'cause your my habit
And i just can't quit

The world keeps spinning
The joker keeps grinning
Lucifer keeps sinning
But i need a new beginning

Baby - be my co-dependent

I'll be the girl with the long blond hair
And the really pale skin if you care
I sit in the corner of the room
Cross-legged and quiet
Filled with doom

I never ever liked the smell in here
It's cold and wet and reeks of beer
The lights are turned out permanently
But that's ok
Cause i don't want to see

Wayne - wait for me
And take me up in your hot-air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne - pray for me
'cause i'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me

Who's the strange lady
With the big silly hair
And berries on her face
Dressed like a pear
Do i really have to hold her hand
And pretend she's my mommy
You're wife and man
(when i know you're not my mommy)
It's crowded and i feel lost in here
I'm trying to find a familiar fear
I look everywhere but i just can't see
There's not anything that reminds me of me

You made me feel as fresh as flowers
Under these rocks and stones

I don't know when you learn it
But when you learn it you learn it fast
They're the ones who love to learn
They're not fast, they're nice guys
They finish last

They're waiting and wondering
Wondering where did i go wrong

Don't be good
Don't be good
Don't be good to me
Don't be good
Though you should
That won't work you see

Well i don't know when i learned it
But when i learned it i learned it fast
They're the ones who'd love to love me
They're not fast
They're nice guys, they finish last
They're waiting & wondering
Wondering where did i go wrong

Don't be good
Don't be good
Don't be good to me
Don't be good
Though you should
That won't work for me

So don't be good to me
Don't be good to me
You're so good for me

There's a man outside my door tonight
He cries for help he sings a pleading song
Well times are tough for everyone
Gotta hold on to what i got
And just kind of cruise along

Well i do
Want to be helpful
But it's cold and i'm told
You can't be too careful

Out of the mouth of a mother
Into the hands of a brother
Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another.

You can never tell who your neighbour is
Or what he's doin' at night or who his friends are
Well you don't know where he's from
Or where he's been or who he knows
You know you can't be too careful
These days

Well i do want to be helpful
Whoa but it's cold
And i'm told he might just be the devil

Well i don't take chances
And i don't take time to see
And i don't take nothing
From nobody
No way - not me

Into the eyes of a child
Into the ears of a child
Into the heart of a child

I was there
When you shone as bright as
Bethlehem from afar
I was there
When you were young and strong
And perverted
And everything that makes a young man
Oh you were a star
I was there
And i swear to god
And on my mother's grave
On everything i have
Or ever will embrace
I was there
And i saw it with my own two eyes

And now it's all around me
It's all around me
I'm surrounded
Now it's all around me
It's all around me
You surround me like a circle

I was there
C'mon and tell me i wasn't worth
Sticking it out for
Well i was there
And i know i was worth it
Cause if i wasn't worth it
That makes me worse off then you are
But don't lose sight of me now
Don't lose sight of me now

I was there
When they dropped the bomb
Ya' know i remember the bomb
And i still hear the bomb
And i still fight the bomb
You know i still fear the bomb
You know i still hate the bomb
Sometimes i still get the call

So don't lose sight of me now
You know you're all around me
I'm surrounded
You surround me like a circle

You're toast and jam
And you're cotton candy
You're double rainbows
Beside a setting sun
You're wood burnin' outside
There's a fire growin'
You're sweet as green apples
You must be the one

You bring me to the heart of a golden man
You bring me to the natural truth
You take me to a solid hollow
And keep me sailing this ocean of youth

So take me to an altar of diamonds
And run with me through sheets of jungle rain
Show me all your manly mystery
And let me heal your beautiful pain

Be my island
In crowds of faces
My oasis
Be there

Lead me to the holy water
Introduce me to the place you are from
Wherever you go you know i will follow
So take me there and i will come
