I'm With Stupid |
|
That's Just What You Are |
|
(one two) |
|
In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eye |
|
No guts to sever so forever may we wave goodbye |
|
And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move |
|
When i wonder what could make the needle jump the groove |
|
I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book |
|
So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook |
|
By saying there is no use changing 'cause |
|
That's just what you are |
|
That's just what you are |
|
Acting steady always ready to defend your fears |
|
What's the matter with the truth, did i offend your ears |
|
By suggesting that a change might be a thing to try |
|
Like it would kill you just to try and be a nicer guy |
|
It's not like you would lose some critical piece |
|
If somehow you moved point a to point b |
|
Maintaining there is no point changing 'cause |
|
That's just what you are |
|
That's just what you are |
|
Now i could talk to you till i'm blue in the face |
|
But we still would arrive at the very same place |
|
With you running around and me out of the race |
|
-very cool keyboard (mellotron?) solo- |
|
So maybe you're right, nobody can take |
|
Something older than time and hope you could make |
|
It better, that would be a mistake |
|
So take it just so far |
|
'cause that's just what you are |
|
That's just what you are |
|
That's just what you are |
|
Acting steady always ready to defend your fears |
|
What's the matter with the truth, did i offend your ears |
|
You're like a sleepwalking man, it's a danger to wake you |
|
Even when it is apparent where your actions will take you |
|
That's just what you are |
|
And that's just what you are |
|
That's just what you are |
|
That's just what you are |
