You wouldn't weigh your time, and I couldn't measure my life,
But I know it's worth the while, to stay up and write all night.
Oh, you don't owe me, nothing, not even your company. Oh, nobody owns this, owning it's been sold up and gone.
I felt in-to this feeling, I know just what it is, but I've hardly said a word about it to you, when you gonna ask me why?
(Bridge:)I reserve the right, to do what I wanna do all the time; and you have this same right, too... you aint gotta explain to nobody...
(Chorus) It's our plight, hey yah
So take it by the horns, and ride
And you are not indifferent, oh, nor am I
So shake it off what's illin' your mind (here)
And I bleed this wound, lick with my tongue and antiseptic, too.
And I know I've got it for you but I've got to clean the house.
My heart is made of wood, my heart is made of gold. My heart is made of water, and it is going to rain.
You could spend all your life, entertaining every possibility.
But there's so many places, if you think like that you'll go crazy.
(Bridge 2:)(yet), no matter what, we will keep it your right, to do just as you like, all the time, and thank the forces that be there are people that know how they want to live....
(Chorus)
(Instumental)
Mortality, it aint nobody's friend or enemy,
No No No, nobody's but me (and you)
No No No, and there aint a cause you can see...
Woah uh uh oh, and it's revealing its fallacy.
