Intro: ( G D/F# Em Dsus4 ) x2
G D/F# Em
You can hold her hand
Dsus4 G
And show her how you cry
D/F#
Explain to her your weakness So she understands
Em Dsus4
And then roll over and die
You can brave decisions
Before you crumble up inside
Spend your time asking Everyone else's permission:
And then run away and hide
You can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up your ass
No need to know
What you're doing or waiting for:
But if anyone should ask?
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins
And we've been hanging out
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
And relieve us our doubt
Lalala...
You can hold her eggs
But your basket has a hole
You can lie between her legs
And go lookin for:
Tell her you're searching for her soul
You can wait for ages
And watch your compost turn to coal
But time is contagious:
Everybody's getting old
You can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up your ass
No need to know
What you're doing or waiting for:
But if anyone should ask?
Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins
And we've been hanging out
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
And relieve us our doubt
Lalala..
