Livin' on the Inside |
| Books are stacked on my table, I've got books filling my shelves |
| Day and night I've been trying to unravel myself |
| But I've been looking for answers that don't seem to wanna be had |
| and people don't live too long when they're feeling this bad |
| So I don't wanna know about nothin' |
| unless it's something I can see or touch |
| 'cause I've been living on the inside too much |
| I miss those Labor Day picnics like the ones that we used to have |
| Where no one's worrying about nothing, no one's feeling bad |
| I wanna roll down the hillside, lay dizzy in the cool green grass |
| and jump around like a frog in a gunny sack |
| And I don't wanna know about nothin' |
| unless it's something I can see or touch |
| 'cause I've been living on the inside a little too much |
| My friend has got some babies and she loves them with all of her might |
| They run around all day, they keep her up at night |
| But she can kiss those faces and she's the one who gets to see them smile |
| I'm thinking maybe that'd beat this by a pretty long mile |
| And I don't wanna know about nothin' |
| unless it's something I can see or touch |
| 'cause I've been living on the inside a little too much |
