OK, so listen: I like my life a lot.
It´s a shame that these sharks got my leg and won´t stop.
They won´t stop, they won´t stop, they won´t stop -
They´re on top.
Keep them from biting and make sure my bedroom door´s still locked.
Oh, look at the clock.
You should practice these things by yourself.
I know these words really hurt but they help.
And I´m doing the best that I can
To make a spell in this sand;
To be with my family and friends;
We´re too many means without ends.
I thought you died in that car?
I swore I saw your broken arms,
But now that you´re here there´s no harm.
Got a magicians touch, and his charm.
There are so many words in this song
That let me know that I´m wrong.
You never really were gone;
My writing changes those thoughts.
Do you understand what I mean?
It was only writing for me,
But my ink spills you on the page -
Through this change, I´ve been saved.
Holy water just wont do it;
It´s much too easy to see right through it.
It takes some time and some discipline
In our respective fields of medicine.
Lalalalalalalala...
I walked into a Laundromat and lit up a cigarette.
A woman said, "Extinguish that. You can´t smoke in here."
But I can, and I am,
And I´m so separated from my own awkward body.
I´m stretching out to clear a pool of water.
An open invitation - to us from the oceans.
Alchemy is fun.
You see you don´t need to change things;
Things change themselves:
From metal to gold, from raindrops to snow.
It just so happens the snow will change us all.
Ironic how these bones can´t handle the fall.
Nostalgia dies every time we lie about some details we hide -
Cause the truth truly hurts sometimes.
So don´t you cry.
Don´t keep me up all night.
Don´t say that you´re all right when the truth is you´re not all right.
Don´t you understand that alchemy is not about the life we lead?
It´s all about the change to things.
It´s getting harder every day -
Hard for me to breath:
It´s hard enough to breathe.
I want to change things.
