Put my foot in my mouth once again Offended somebody, a friend A daily affair it's become And it always gives me the shivers Now don't you know what I've seen? That people say things they don't mean (all the time) So why are you hanging on words When you know they don't always deliver? But words are all we've got To tell us we're something we're not The meaning of which I know It flows through me like a river Crocodiles, they'll eat pancreas Like Infantiles, they'll eat anything Crocodiles, they'll eat lanky boys And in a while, I'll be anything they say I'm walking up the street I'm hoping not to meet The people I once hoped to find And so like a snake I slither Some live with doubt all the time It happens to me in my mind I know I'm going somewhere But it better not take me forever Crocodiles, they'll eat pancreas Like Infantiles, they'll eat anything Crocodiles, they'll eat lanky boys And in a while, I'll be anything they say

I look forward to the rain Acidic as it may be I look forward to explain My reasons as they seep Into me When I met you you were wet as a wipe Cleaner still I don't know why I say goodbye to my own hand Neither had we No coffee nor tea And the floor was drenched In honey You are sweet but not That sweet (Ch.) Piping Cups of energy I drank to your health Silently I did not speak Distance Made a difference Distantly you spent your time Now you're back You're so lost Since you tossed Your sense of you And who You were to be (Ch.)

Eastern way in the western world Cleanse my day it's failing me The tendency to show it all Presents me to boast my fall It's okay, the messenger Has the blame, he's bailing me Out of clutch, losing much Losing such friends I trust The freeze-framed finch finds A worm which leaves my Family's tree hungry Mister sway the blessed girl To my door, she's mailing me Her fine line of clothes She has two friends in tow The freeze-framed finch finds A worm which leaves my Family's tree hungry Eastern way in the western world Cleanse my day it's failing me The tendency to show it all Presents me to boast my fall

If I happen to melt like butter I can harden up again When the heat is off Also if I had the chance I'd jump in the freeze Sure it's cold in there But I enjoy the breeze But what if I was all spread out Like a film? Would you find me capable in film form? And would you find me acceptable Hiding in the rain? Sure I'm all wet Just sane If you have some coins for me Let me hear the clink I won't take it when I don't know what it is Unless it's some Amsterdam Ring, ring ring! Then I'll ride all day Outside in the spring ... Toying with a handsome man On his day off Is better than judging him On his off day Unless he's from Amsterdam's Ring, ring, ring! Then I'll judge his everything Outside in the spring When I say what's today You say bye And when I get emotionless You begin to cry And I levitate Over to the bed You'll never sleep in Again You'll probably move to Amsterdam's Ring, ring, ring! And you'll sleep all day Outside in the spring
