lyrics

think about what you shouldn't and what you should
but if someone says, "hey man that ain't so good," it's
embedded like the motor that lives under the hood
part of a person like how trees are made of wood

I'm tired of sitting around waiting for something to melt this.
So sick of myself being so fucking selfish.
Instead of contemplating the nature of my empty dish
Perhaps I should consider mystery of 12 baskets of fish

After trying really hard to find God in a book
I'm starting to think, that's not the best, best place to look.
I wish that he grabbed me by my shoulders he took, or
My hand inside of his hand he took.

And I saw a dead cat on the road today.
I passed beside him on my bike where on the pavement he lay
and thought, "hey I could pass in a similar way
if the next driver upon the road attention didn't pay."

In the diner Andy asked "What happens when you kill a fly?"
and I thought for a moment then said, "I guess that he's no longer alive?"
and he said that in the same way that that that little guy just lives and dies
that's how it will happen to you and I

And I saw a dead cat on the road today
I passed beside him on my bike where on the pavement he lay
and thought, "If a car came along and crushed me too,
being a grease mark on the highway can't keep me from loving You."
