Stay Loose Sözleri

I was choking on a cornflake

You said ?Have some toast instead?

I was sleeping maybe three hours

You said ?You should get to bed?

I was waiting at the church door

For the minister to show

I was looking at the new year

You said ?Walk before you crawl?

I was feeling like a loser

You said ?Hey, you?ve still got me?

I was feeling pretty lonely

You said ?You wanted to be free?

I was looking for a good time

You said ?Let the good times start?

With a quiver of your eyelid

You took on someone else?s part

Maybe I?m a little greedy

You said ?Think before you speak?

Sometimes I?m a little seedy

You said ?Everyone is weak?

Now I feel a little better

Is there something I can do?

But I never heard the answer

I never had a clue

But what about me

I don?t really see

How things will improve

If all you want is to stay loose

There?s a little echo calling

Like a miner trapped inside

If I tell her of this moment

She will in me doubts confide

And she?s on me like a blanket

Like a stalk of wilting grass

I?m not sure about her motives

I?m not sure about her past

But my faith is like a bullet

My belief is like a bolt

The only thing that lets me sleep at night

A little carriage of the soul

If it starts a little bleaker

Then the year may yet be gold

Happiness is not for keeping

Happiness is not my goal

But what about me

I don?t really see

How things will improve

If all you want is to stay loose

But what about them

You play mother hen

To a gaggle of gangling youth

All you want is to stay loose

I was living through the seconds

My composure was a mess

I was miles from tenderness

It was dark outside, the day it was broken in pieces

Everything is flat and dreary

I couldn?t care what?s in the news

Television is the blues

Television is hysterical laughter of people

And I know it could be me

I?m always asking for more

I keep running round in circles

I keep looking for a doorway

I?m going to need two lives

To follow the paths I?ve been taking
