lyrics

I'm just a fish gone from the ocean since the day I
took a notion that a Friday night in town would be cool.
Didn't have to think twice, lost my gills shooting dice,
go back and be the fool of my school. Life used to be a
garden, now I'm working so hard to keep this loneliness
from taking me out. I said "This ain't a bad place to start
the human race." Just when I was beginning to doubt

I started changing my mind, in the face of fear
My mind, no see no speak no hear
My mind, I walked a million years
Changing my mind

So now everybody's talking about the new way of
walking, didn't look like much to me. I walked
the cave to the clover with my shoulders
slumped over, with my hands hanging down
to my knees. Then here comes Miss Jack
got her head pulled way back so she can't
even see the ground. I say "These fads
last a week then she'll be back like me
when she gets tired of falling down"
I lost the fur off my body, lost the thumb off my foot  but I thought love was just a physical thing  Since I met my lover, the things we have discovered  every time we touch, it's too much  So on this pseudo psycho techno metro Avogadro Numero kind of night  I betcha since I metcha I might be able to getcha  to show me some of your light
