You make yourself dizzy trying to stay out of trouble
Like you've
gotta stay busy to keep your hands clean.
Your world is as smooth and as
hollow as a bubble.
You waste no time thinking about what it might
mean.
You keep your nose pressed; you keep your head low.
You wanna say
yes but you say no, I won't.
Best I don't.
You've really gotta overlook a few key elements.
Put your head down, hold
your ground, staring at the floor.
It's a little like trying not to think
about an elephant
When you've got one breaking down your door.
One time
is an accident.
Two times, bad elephant.
Oh my brother, don't you try
that stuff on me.
You're too easy to read. It's really something to
see
The way you cling to the perception
That you come by your deception
honestly.
All you really want is a little bit of gratitude
'Cause you
made a space in a place on your shelf.
Sometimes, I know I've got a little
bit of attitude.
Well, sometimes you've got some yourself.
But according
to that rule I hate,
You can only throw stones if you've got a clean
slate
And I don't.
So I guess I won't.
One time, just to think
about.
Two times to keep score.
Three times, I want to sing it
out.
Four times but no more.
