You can hold her hand
And show her how you cry
Explain to her your weakness
So she understands
And then roll over and die

You can brave decisions
Before you crumble up inside
Spend your time asking
Everyone else's permission
And then run away and hide

You can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up your ass
No need to know
What you're doing or waiting for
But if anyone should ask?
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins
And we've been hanging out
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
And relieve us our doubt

You can hold her eggs
But your basket has a hole
You can lie between her legs
And go lookin for
Tell her you're searching for her soul

You can wait for ages
And watch your compost turn to coal
But time is contagious
Everybody's getting old

You can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up your ass
No need to know
What you're doing or looking for
But if anyone should ask?
Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins
And we've been hanging out
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
And relieve us our doubt
