Born Ruffians - Barnacle Goose lyrics

rate me

And I'm frustrated with myself But I can't change I don't want to be me anymore And all of the tics & tocs & clicks of clocks That tell the time tell me this is just a phase And everything every day That's been scraping away At the side of my brain Can't come to form a thought, except... And all the thoughts I think I've saved Here for days that remain Just keep eating away And I still can't sleep, sing... Why can't you tell me what I wanna hear To help me get some rest Oh my darling dear? The songs of the birds Don't bring calmness no more Oh no, no they don't sing And none of the girls seem to think you're cool It's probably because you smell bad A skin disease won't get you Nowhere these days It's true, it's sad but true And everything every day That's been scraping away At the side of my brain Can't come to form a thought And all of the thoughts I think I've saved Here for days that remain Just keep eating away And I still can't sleep I sing... We're going to make plans We have plans to make plans We're going to do it right We've locked it in our sights I'll la-dee-da & they can dum-dee-day We'll tra-la-la all night and day we'll go far And if I write enough And think about it it'll happen It's not as tough as mom said As it so happens Your analyst lied to you when She told you the truth About boys, fear, open sores And things that are simple Like opening doors And all the thoughts I think I've saved here For days that remain Just eat eat eat away And I still can't sleep, sing...
