showers pounding out a new beat

I trade my old shoes for new feet

I grab a new seat

I don't like the one I got the fabric's wearing through

and it's wearing me out

you're wearing me down

watching old baseball games and low budget telethons

ain't like watching you yourself when you yourself is on

got time to wander to waste and to whine

but when it comes to you

it seems like I just can't find the time

so watch your head and then watch the ground

it's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown

it's a silly time to learn to swim on the way down

if I gave you my number would it still be the same

if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll

never go away

promise me you'll always stay

closed down the last local zoo

I'm gonna win the endless war

over who kills the last koala bear

and who in death will love him more and I

he grabs me by the hand

drags me to the shore and says

maybe you don't love me

but you'll grow to love me even more

and I well I'm not surprised
