When girls dressed in black they all look so lonely
|
And contraceptives don't get used by the horny
|
You can't find the key to the door in your building
|
But are you still willing
|
The responsibility becomes an afterthought
|
When one remembers the things that they should've bought
|
There's no pretending that you forgot
|
Must everything in life have political ramifications
|
Even taking kids on vacation or having a simple operation
|
But my friend Billy told me that sometimes
|
It takes a grown man a long time to learn
|
Just what it takes a child a night to learn
|
And my son proved his words
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Water pistol man full of ammunition
|
Squirtin' at fires on a worldwide mission
|
But did you ever think to stop to squirt
|
The flowers in your own backyard
|
|
For all my faux pa's I never said excuse me
|
Was the simplest things that always confused me
|
I never stopped I never looked both ways
|
Must it always a tug of love between friends and work
|
Hope to learn the meaning of the word jerk
|
Before it happens to a rope round my neck
|
Let's build a bigger telescope
|
So that we can see things more up close
|
Farther away from where we really are
|
I was up the whole night before
|
Reading books about places I'll probably never go
|
And those aren't good things to know about
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
When I feel with my heart, I know in my mind
|
I should say with my lips
|
But don't does that make you feel upset?
|
I should know that the power of one man seems like a small squirt
|
When he aims at the flames of the whole earth
|
But the fire starts at home...
|
|
[Chorus]
|
