There are stories in the soil, loose leaves the ground There's volumes in the forest, no one out loud If I could them down off of that mountain shelf We used to but no one tries to go up that far now, yeah
We're all too working, entertaining ourselves hours television and prescription pills Well, I take two a day to make my brain It does but who's to say, at least my doctor gets paid
So that's fine, yeah, come by, we'll the afternoon off We can kiss and undress or if you want talk 'Cause I've got nothing real, just 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 real slow, yeah, we can nurse it all Try to believe that once gone We'll pour another round and back to life, come right back
I guess I'm faster now or that's what they said And though some still take forever I can't disagree Because it to me that I wake up and sleep Look in the mirror, no idea what happened in between
But I remember counting days down 'til the could be done So I could scatter all my on the prep school lawn And disappear again into a bliss Of staying out, sleeping in and getting with my friends
