I need to know who I am
and what I'm going to do while I'm on earth
I need to understand
everything and everybody's lives
I need to get up tomorrow
I have to mail that letter and pay that bill
deadlines, deadlines, deadlines
write that essay, and pray on the windowsill
lines, lines jump from line to line
just one, do one at a time
this one's all about mine mine mine
solve one try then keep on trying
i'm sculpting my philosophy
in patterns going 1,2,3
I'm trying your monogamy
in increments of 1 through 3
I need to eat I'm hungry
I'll grab a bight of a BLT
That’s all I want right now…
With some juice, no… coffee.
I need a girlfriend, I’m lonely
Someone to love me and fuck me
I need to get laid immediately
But also someone to fulfill my needs
I need success to be wealthy
I’m hanging on to my simplicity
I need a nice car and nice clothes
Fatter lips and a smaller nose
I need to learn I need to grow
I want to know. No no no no no no no no
I need nice hair… no women
Nice hair, then women. Until then…
lines, lines jump from line to line
just one, do one at a time
this one's all about mine mine mine
solve one try then keep on trying
I'm sculpting my philosophy
in patterns going 1,2,3
I'm trying post modernity
in increments of 1 through 3
When I sail back home to you
I know exactly just what to do
And when I take these winds to home
I know I won't be alone
When I hang my trousers dry
I know it won't just be you and I
Cuz there'll be ma & pa and grandmama and all the children I have fathered
You know I have, I have a knack
For anything that uses my back
and I will work, will work these fields
Cuz it's the only thing that's real
And when I raise, raise my hands up high
I know it won't just be you and I
Cuz there'll be sun and snow and a horse Jethro and all the children I have fathered
And I will learn to cook for you
It's one thing that I plan to learn to do
and I will make sweet dandelion wine
and there'll be no search for time
spend all our lives just having lives
and there'll be no time for any lies
there's just mares-eat-oats and no more lows and all the children I have fathered
There'll be ma and pa and grandmama and all the children I have fathered.
