Sometimes it all gets too much
feels like my head will explode
Sometimes it's never enough
I can't ever let it go
Sometimes I'd rather be anywhere but here
Well you know I would do anything
for a quiet life
I'd go out on a limb for the simple things
to be enough
I'd take off my socks and shove them in the mouths
of the ones I love
But for now I'll let them blather on
and I'll keep my big mouth shut
Sometimes I get so lonely
I find someone to follow
Sometimes it seems so obvious
even a child would know
Sometimes I wonder if she disappeared
How long would it be before they saw I was still here
Well you know I would do anything
for a quiet life
I'd go out with some young dumb teenager
who'd be grateful for love
I'd take off my clothes and sink into the sea
and never come up
But for now I'll let it wash over
and I'll keep my small mind shut
I'd live in a hut
live off berries and nuts
and get rid of this taste in my mouth
I'd rely on my gut instinct
on my sensing sense and my nous
But I drink till I cannot speak
and try to tell you what I'm harping on about
and your actions speak so loud you know
I end up having to shout
