spread me thin so you can see what i'm made of
five jesters two prunes and one very chunky oyster
today's the day nothing will happen
and i'm all the happier for it
forever is never tommorrow's yesterdays
six times i saw you one time i noticed
get up up get off get back get on
get lazy get going get more get laied
time for us to see whats there behind the shade
up all those stairs down all those flights
and over again in my head i'm replaying the nights
maybe its nothing but i'm still ashamed
maybe its everything and i'm still to blame
maybe its something but i'm still the same
but to me its all a joke
it's really all quite lame
because the greatest things i've heard
never made a sound and could not be expressed in a word
shoot me if you're sorry
but paint me if you're not
in this there is no protection
in this we are all the same
to protect the mind from worries
to protect the soul from fault
we put up barriers we break them down
but truly we will all drown
i wish i could say the feelings in my haert
but instead i shall be cryptic
and i shall dance around them like they are fire
for the truth burns and it scalds beyond belief
but now i am so cold and now it is so hot
tis hard to tell what i am
and just what it is that i am not
