Damien Rice - Coconut Skins lyrics

rate me

You can hold her hand And show her how you cry Explain to her your weakness So she understands: And then roll over and die! You can brave decisions Before you crumble up inside Spend your time asking Everyone else's permission: And then run away and hide! You can sit on chimneys And put some fire up your ass! No need to know What you're doing or waiting for: But if anyone should ask? Tell them I've been licking coconut skins And we've been hanging out! Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins And relieve us our doubt You can hold her eggs But your basket has a hole You can lie between her legs And go lookin' for: Tell her you're searching for her soul! You can wait for ages And watch your compost turn to coal But time is contagious: Everybody's getting old. You can sit on chimneys And put some fire up your ass! No need to know What you're doing or waiting for: But if anyone should ask? Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins And we've been hanging out! Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins And relieve us our doubt.
