Birdlime

Lay with me on the floor of the basement

In the bathroom, on the pavement

Hold my hand while we're falling out of place

Swallowing my toothpaste

You think you mean what you say but I say what I mean

What if the whole world just fell to its knees?

I'll invest even though I can't afford it

Cutting up my mattress, looking for a fortune

Not much here but the floor on which I lay

Weary of the pacing

Don't let me lose track of time

Following me to be caught on the birdlime

Catch me if I start to fly

No room for daydreams in my paradise

I've got my life together now

Typically under the weather now

All of my mind's in the gutter now

Maybe we could love one another now

Mind the cracks when you're walking on the driveway

Last week I was careless, now I've got a migraine

Laundromat shrunk my favorite pair of jeans

Now they'll never fit me

My old friends think I'm always getting wasted

Would you recognize me if I got a facelift?

I can't help if I'm naturally a bore

Leave me on the basement floor

But don't let me lose track of time

Following me to be caught on the birdlime

Catch me if I start to fly

No room for daydreams in my paradise

I've got my life together now

Typically under the weather now

All of my mind's in the gutter now

Maybe we could love one another now

But don't let me lose track of time

Following me to be caught on the birdlime

Catch me if I start to fly

Cause there's no room for daydreams in my paradise

I've got my life together now

Typically under the weather now

All of my mind's in the gutter now

Maybe we could love one another now

I've got my life together now

Typically under the weather now

All of my mind's in the gutter now

Maybe we could love one another now

I've got my life together now
