There are stories in the soil, loose leaves cover the volumes in the forest, no one reads out loud If I could take them off of that mountain shelf We used to climb but no one to go up that far now, yeah
all too busy working, entertaining ourselves Forty hours television and pills Well, I take two a day to make my behave It never does but who's to say, at least my doctor gets
So that's fine, yeah, by, we'll take the afternoon off We can kiss and or if you want just talk 'Cause I've got real, just empty space to fill And you're my girl I like your style, just imagine all the time we kill
