lyrics

I read what I could of Mr. Nietzsche
I read what I could of Dr. Hume
afraid I might have it too easy
lookin' for something to prove

I paraded around Machu Picchu
I paraded around like a fool
I paraded around Franz Joseph
just lookin' for some kind of tune

but then in a blink it all falls on your plate
and you think

life gave you somethin' to sing about
life gave you songs to sing
isn't that what you wanted
but now you can't sing a darn thing

it's like getting a gift of a hairbrush
after selling my hair for your gift
but replace the brush for inspiration
and the hair for a pile of dog shit

oh in a blink it all falls on your plate
and you think

life gave you somethin' to sing about
life gave you songs to sing
isn't that what you wanted
but now you can't sing a darn thing

I'm too tired
and I'm too tight
and I'm too swept with emotion

life gave you somethin' to sing about
life gave you songs to sing
isn't that all that you wanted
but now you can't sing a darn thing
