Lyrics
As I stand here breathing Thigh deep in the weeds of ignorance that cover the breast of the earth Don't let the blue laws of communication Keep the fresh air out of the rooms of my mind Or extinguish the sun in my belly And don't let my hallways and stairwells become empty Except for my pitifully huddled form Crying in some dark musty corner in defeat Because someone forgot to tell me long ago That there's nothing dirty about earth All I ask is to squat here in the cool shade and talk to you Forgetting the games and rules ingrained in the fiber of my personality And let me not be worried about what I look like or sound like to you And let me breathe easy and feel natural not get confused or hung up Trying to express earth feelings without earthwords And please don't get hysterical to the point that you cut out my tongue Just because I said that I loved ya or scratch out my eyes Because in all your ugliness I said you were beautiful Just bear with me and if you feel some small part of what I have to say And if ever the day should come that we're in a position to study each others faces Let me understand that you feel what I've had to say Not because you thought you were supposed to feel it But because you really did
