lyrics

There's a dirty sock in my hair
and I don't remember putting it there
next to sweat silhouettes on the floor
that I'm not quite prepared to endorse

I was having this dream
We were down in a deep ravine
with slimy slippery sides
No I won't sit still till I'm upside down in the back of your eyes

We can take off into the breeze
through the forest of family trees
and be a mutual sight for sore eyes
We can ride off into the sunrise
and wake up in the afternoon
back on the birthplace of the moon
till we're off to the too and fro
for some old man that we don't even know
Only eight more hours to go!

Oh, the world feels colder today
I don't care what the scientists say
There's a campfire built in my heart
that even the sun couldn't start

On our climb uphill
into the oil spill
through the vast asbestos skies
no I won't sit still till I'm upside down in the back of your eyes

Never mind all the nuclear missiles
Leave that up to important officials
who can manufacture the press and
keep the peasants on anti-depressants
Should they send their rockets a flyin'
that's one unique way to exit the world
but if we're curled up into a little ball
behind some thick lead walls
we should be fine if we can survive
the giant spiders!

No I won't sit still till I'm upside down in the back of your eyes
No I won't sit still till I'm upside down in the back of your eyes
No I won't sit still till I'm upside down in the back of your eyes
No I won't sit still till I'm upside down in the back of your eyes

Lonely people of the world, unite!
