lyrics

Not only don't I need it, I don't want it 
Leave me be beside the fire, the brick, the carpet 
Underneath the cement floor's hard as my heart is 
I beg your pardon if I hardy-har the hardest 

But I must have rolled at least a mile 
Completely free of ease and style 
But here's where it stopped 
I steered for the rocks 
It was worse than they feared 
I was weird from the hop 

So now I'm seething in the evening in the darkness 
Every word you bark I hark and leave it markless 
Never heard a word so fine it buttered parsnips 
Put the cart behind the horse inside the harness 

Back when everything was okey-dokey
You could have asked and I'd have known if I was joking 
I'd yet to get what it was like to never know things 
I'd yet to sweat so much at night I woke up soaking 

But I must have rolled at least a mile 
Completely free of ease and style 
But here's where it stopped 
I steered for the rocks 
It was worse than they feared 
I was weird from the hop 

Every mile of road I go's got 
Two miles of ditch, you know 
Few couple nun hats that I'm 
Itching to kick or throw 
I'd like to kick them quick 
Quicker than the liquor goes 

Bet you wish that you were in the hallway right now 
Breaking stuff 
Don't ya? 
Uh-huh 

Instead of faking shaken up 
You should pick a painting up 
Off the wall 
And change the shading up 

Like you were Yaweh or Allah 
All of the lawn was the wrong shade 
Made like a snake and laid long-ways 
Painted each blade through the long days 
I couldn't quite get the greens right 
I started painting by street light 
Imagine the fright that would be mine 
When I arrived at the tree line 
And all of the trunks were the wrong hue 
Glimpse at the pond was the wrong blue 
Then it sunk in you were gone too 
And I'd have to fix it without you 

Bet you wish that you were in the hallway right now 
Breaking stuff 
Don't ya? 
Uh-huh
