stay loose
I was choking on a cornflakeYou said â??Have some toast insteadâ?
I was sleeping maybe three hours
You said â??You should get to bedâ?
I was waiting at the church door
For the minister to show
I was looking at the new year
You said â??Walk before you crawlâ?
I was feeling like a loser
You said â??Hey, youâ??ve still got meâ?
I was feeling pretty lonely
You said â??You wanted to be freeâ?
I was looking for a good time
You said â??Let the good times startâ?
With a quiver of your eyelid
You took on someone elseâ??s part
Maybe Iâ??m a little greedy
You said â??Think before you speakâ?
Sometimes Iâ??m a little seedy
You said â??Everyone is weakâ?
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 donâ??t really see
How things will improve
If all you want is to stay loose
Thereâ??s a little echo calling
Like a miner trapped inside
If I tell her of this moment
She will in me doubts confide
And sheâ??s on me like a blanket
Like a stalk of wilting grass
Iâ??m not sure about her motives
Iâ??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 donâ??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 lying in pieces
Everything is flat and dreary
I couldnâ??t care whatâ??s in the news
Television is the blues
Television is hysterical laughter of people
And I know it could be me
Iâ??m always asking for more
I keep running round in circles
I keep looking for a doorway
Iâ??m going to need two lives
To follow the paths Iâ??ve been taking.
