There are in the soil, loose leaves cover the ground There's volumes in the forest, no one out loud If I take them down off of that mountain shelf We used to climb but no one to go up that far now, yeah
We're all too working, entertaining ourselves Forty hours and prescription pills Well, I take two a day to my brain behave It never does but who's to say, at my doctor gets paid
So that's fine, yeah, come by, take the afternoon off We can kiss and undress or if you want talk 'Cause I've got real, just empty space to fill And you're my girl I like your style, imagine all the time we could kill
And time's not but once you drink it all you'll die So let's just sip it slow, yeah, we can nurse it all night Try to that once it's gone We'll pour round and come back to life, come right back
