|
There's rumbling in the head again |
|
Inside the head there lived a brain |
|
Inside the brain there lived a dream |
|
That shot 'round like a laser beam |
|
Along nerve endings and synapses |
|
Past the room for memory lapses |
|
Bought about by alcohol |
|
That causes all the self-collapses |
|
Now, that dream's not the only one |
|
I had plenty more when I was young |
|
But I grew up in a big hurry |
|
And then one day I start to worry that |
|
I'm gonna be a goner before I read all the books I wanna |
|
If I plant a tree now it'll be fully grown |
|
Long after I'm just dust and bone and |
|
Now I can't sleep, it's already 3 AM |
|
And I'm lying here dividing sheep by the square root of ten |
|
So I gave away my clothes to charity |
|
I turned off my TV for clarity |
|
But somedays I still envy those |
|
Walking around wearing my clothes |
|
So i'll just plant a tree i'll never see grow |
|
Put a seed in the ground where no one'll know |
|
Gonna make my plan when the morning breaks |
|
But I just don't know how long it'll take |
|
I keep hearing voices and ringing phones |
|
But i'm staring down a highway all alone |
|
With just the company of my stomach rumble |
|
But I feel OK, it makes me humble |
|
Without a load that I must carry |
|
Or a bump in the road to make to tarry |
|
Just a pile of ashes from the miles I've burned and everything i've learned |
|
What have I learned? |
|
Don't walk in front of cars or behind horses |
|
Cats don't drink milk out of flying saucers |
|
Green means go |
|
Yellow: go faster |
|
Red means stop or financial disaster |
|
And don't ever underestimate the fitness of a determined Jehovas witness |
|
And don't ever take for granted what grew from every kiss you planted |
|
If a heart can break then a heart can feel |
|
It's enough to know that you're alive and real |
|
Not a rattle and bounce in a little white ball |
|
Not a number on a roulette wheel |
|
And hair it turns grey and skin it turns to leather |
|
But the best thing about growing old is we all do it together |
|
So i'll just plant a tree i'll never see grow |
|
Put a seed in the ground where no one'll know |
|
Gonna make my plan when the morning breaks |
|
But i'm just don't know how long it'll take |
|
They say that a love that's shared is a love that's carried |
|
All the way to the church where you'll be married |
|
And it's a long long way alter alter and you don't have the time to falter |
|
Love will always come and go I hope |
|
But sometimes love goes up in smoke |
|
And you're left there with the greedy ghost |
|
And just when you need them most |
|
Some of your friends have disappeared |
|
And others started acting weird |
|
And you laying in your bed with an awful feeling |
|
Till you've learnt by heart all the cracks in the ceiling |
|
And you think 'Oh god I just related to that awful love song I always hated' |
|
And the past it all becomes distorted like it was broke before you bought it |
|
Remember, you're the one who paid |
|
For the pin out of the hand grenade |
|
It's up to you to leave your room |
|
But don't forget to bring your spade |
|
So you can plant a tree you'll never see grow |
|
Put a seed in the ground where no one'll know |
|
Gonna make my plan forever to roam |
|
Gonna feed my nan in the nursing home |
|
Gonna make that plan when the morning breaks |
|
But I just don't know how long that'll take |
