==Lyrics== | |||
I want to stop by the side of the road<br> | |||
I want to throw up all that I've known<br> | |||
I want to spit it up violent<br> | |||
Like an exhaust pipe and toxic *gag*<br> | |||
I just want to fall to my knees and *gag* until there's nothing left but my bones<br> | |||
And I'll lie in the grass by the side of the road<br> | |||
And I'll rub my hands in the dirt<br> | |||
And I'll meet the worms and I'll rub my face in it<br> | |||
It's not good, it's not bad, it just is<br> | |||
and boooooy?<br> | |||
And I'll embrace the tree<br> | |||
And I'll lick the bark and smell the age <br> | |||
Feel the roots deep in the earth<br> | |||
And rip it free with one hand <br> | |||
And swallow it whole<br> | |||
And I'll sit in this bush for an hour or two<br> | |||
by the side of the road<br> | |||
I'll make new friends<br> | |||
Bush friends<br> | |||
I'll listen to the crack as I shift my weight <br> | |||
and it rains<br> | |||
I'll lie on my back<br> | |||
The sponge would do<br> | |||
Going with every drop that falls in my ears, eyes, and nose<br> | |||
My ears, my eyes, and my nose<br> | |||
I'll rub my hands all over my trippin' body<br> | |||
Feel the grass creepin between my legs<br> | |||
And I'll microscope this world <br> | |||
With the careless ease of a mother who holds her baby, I will hold the flower<br> | |||
and see down to it's smallest cell<br> | |||
I will be the flower more than I've ever been myself<br> | |||
And this women I will take her and I'll squeeze hard<br> | |||
and love her and feel inside her<br> | |||
by the side of the road<br> | |||
I'll go to jail by the side of the road<br> | |||
Lick the bars and be the dirt<br> | |||
in the corner of this cell on the side of the road<br> | |||
