Lyrics
Haphazardly, tumbling hard
Fall right down, laugh out loud
All in the scheme of things
We're all looking up growing tall
It's like pulling one hair
You are what you are to me (with wet fingers)
In my eyes you're a star (petroleum jelly)
You're something I'll never be (and watch the rain dance)
You're something, I'm frightened of
I've got to get clean
The rain will cleanse me
And I've got to wash
These filthy hands
Because it's all just a futile plan
That'd mean I'd have to believe again
It's like a career to breathe
An existence I can't conceive
Emotionless as in slug
With my imagined oblivion
You would swear (it's as much fun)
That I could, walk and talk (as poking at a nerve)
But I doubt you'll ever (no one wants to fail)
Ever prove enough (vocabulary test is graded on a curve)
Smartest kid is stupid
Word is never heard
(I doubt you'll ever prove it!)
I've got to get clean
The rain will cleanse me
And I've got to wash
These filthy hands
All these thoughts and feelings are for naught
Unappealing so you expect them to dull and fade
Still they remain
Caught waiting for the rain
Time devours life
With my soul as the defendant
Don't catch me if I fall
I may have jumped you never know
You don't know me at all
All these thoughts and feelings are for naught
Unappealing so you expect them to dull and fade
Still they remain
Because it's all just a futile plan
That'd mean I'd have to believe again
It's like a career to breathe
An existence I can't conceive
Emotionless as in slug
With my imagined oblivion
You would swear (it's like pulling one hair )
That I could
Walk and talk but I doubt you'll ever (with wet fingers)
Ever prove enough (petrolium jelly)
And wash the rain's hands
(I doubt you'll ever prove it!)
All these thoughts and feelings are for naught
Unappealing so you expect them to dull and fade
Still they remain
Caught waiting for the rain
Time devours life
