I've covered myself Forgave all my sins Jump in the pool And float around, around the deep end
Like I'm up on a wire, without a net But I'm without a circus, without a tent
I want you to understand That I'm just saving myself I'm blooming like daffodils On the sunniest of weekends On the sunniest of weekends
I've resurrected myself Back from the dead Fountain of youth sprang Oh, I sprung again
I'm my own hero in a superman suit That I wear with my brand new pair, brand new pair of converse shoes
Everyone understands That I'm just shedding my skin Blooming like daffodils On the sunniest of weekends On the sunniest of weekends
Standing on the surface of the sun Well I reach out my hands For you to come Flying all around us With heaven dust above I'm looking off to say I've resurrected myself
What I now reap is all that I've sown Pull out the weeds Stand back and I watch myself grow Higher and higher Into the sky Into my own galaxy Where I reach the sacred site
Everyone understands Yeah-ah, we're all saving ourselves Blooming like daffodils On the sunniest of weekends On the sunniest of weekends Ye-e-ah-ah Ye-e-ah-ah Ye-e-ah-ah Sunniest of weekends Ye-e-ah-ah Ye-e-ah-ah Ye-e-ah-ah Sunniest of Weekends
It was a dark, depressing party 'til she came into the room She wore a neon-colored vinyl skirt that brightened up my view There was a mutual attraction of a woman and a man But it was me who had the growing situation on his hands
So I just stood there in the middle there Yeah ooh yeah
She moved a little closer I felt my blood begin to rise I saw that she was coming over by that look inside her eyes
So I just stood there in the middle there Yeah ooh I just stood there in the middle there
Chorus I just stood there in the middle Wondering where I should put my hands To cover up the rising thoughts of times to come ' my future plans And all the while she stood there staring, bearing down on everything While I just stood there wondering what she could see
Now what's the mess'
So I cursed at Mother Nature for making me look like such a jerk I thought of sticks and bricks and pushing pins but nothing seemed to work And then with the prettiest of smiles she walked up and said hello And then I watched her as her eyes gazed down on me below
So I just stood there in the middle there Yeah ooh I just stood there in the middle there
Chorus
One' Two' Three
2 x Chorus
Well I stood there in the middle there Yeah I've stood there in the middle there Yeah I've stood there in the middle there Yeah I've stood there in the middle there'
Karen blows the smoke across The table to the seat I'm in And blood is passed around in glasses "Vintage year", she says again She says again
As I sit here choking on my food Like words we've swallowed deep inside Well, there's a polka dotted dog Who keeps barking as the cars go by Barkin' as the cars go by
And it's that stupid dog's tail That I see us chase But she can't see it on my face
'Cause I'm home in this electric chair 'Cause I'm home in this electric chair 'Cause I'm home in this electric chair Well, I'm home
So we watch the clock tic quietly As it syncs itself to our heartbeats And then Karen stands up with her glass And another toast to everyone she cares about Everyone she cares about
And I'm really turned off By the fact she cares But she doesn't understand
That I'm home in this electric chair That I'm home in this electric chair That I'm home in this electric chair That I'm home
So we sit down as I kiss her goodnight And she straps my buckles all down tight Upon my cheek she lays a kiss Then she plugs me in and throws the switch
In my electric chair In my electric chair 'Cause in my electric chair I'm home Yeah, I'm home, yeah, well, I'm home Yeah, well, I'm home Yeah
All the air that we breathe Enters you but enters me deeper That big boat on which you float Does it in the shallowest of water
Well you lie down, sit, and you stay I'm telling you there's a better way If you open up your big mouth You could let it, let it out
Wonder where you are I do! Dropped into something I do wonder where you are Am I coming through?
Well you can't hide much longer inside So get out of whatever it is you're into Or is the damage worse than I feared You wishing you could just disappear If you open up your big head You could let somebody in
Wonder where you are I do! Dropped into something I do wonder where you are Am I coming through?
And I thought that you were okay We got high the other day But your head was numb, You're not the only one
Wonder where you are I do! Dropped into something I do wonder where you are
Houston? Come in guys...My friends we're ok! Rockets launched and we're floating out in space
Its been a long day but we got away, we really got away and the truth is that we're not coming back
We get to wear these butterfly shoes and I don't get the blues from what I was...from what I was...
Cause its a Long Way Down to where we don't belong And what I got I want to give away Yeah its a long way down to where we don't belong and what I've got I want to give away
Houston...are you there? My friends we're not scared We got lots of room, room to move around And we're gonna try to back this thing up to get a view of the planet earth I hear its really blue
And its a Long Way Down to where we don't belong And what I got I want to give away Yeah its a long way down to where we don't belong and what I've got I want to give away
Houston? Anyone..? Answer if you're there Our view of earth has finally disappeared And it was a great thing to see our planet out there in the distance Togetherness at last...togetherness at last
And its a Long Way Down to where we don't belong And what I got I want to give away Yeah its a long way down to where we don't belong and what I've got I want to give away
