lyrics

there's a lump in my throat
where all my words have been caught
I can untangle them with a glass of gin
I can drain them out with a ball point pen
I've got blood running up in my head
I have had lovers that have said
I'm too picky to please
too tall to reach
to small to notice
to arrogant to focus
but I've got sex in my hands
too much I don't understand
off with my head
find that switch and turn me off instead
I can dream, oh yeah I can dream
momma won't you leave a light on
tuck my feet up in a blanket nice and warm
and won't you brush that monkey off my back
and hold me, I don't want to move
and won't you sing me, sing me that song
it won't take me all that long
to count my sheep and fall asleep
and dream away all those seams
the day wove up just for me
I won't my hold my tongue
I'll sing along
I've been sitting still for way too long
I'm out of here, I'm out of here
pull that pen from my throat
watch me choke, watch me
