Lyrics

Can’t stop, ad dict ed to the shin dig.

Chop top, he says I’m gon na win big.

Choose not a life of im i ta tion.

Dis tant cous in to the res er va tion.

De funkt, the pis tol that you pay for.

This punk, the feel ing that you stay for.

In time I want to be your best friend.

East side love is liv ing on the west end.

Knock out but boy you bet ter come to.

Don’t die, you know the truth is some do.

So write your mes sage on the pave ment.

Burn so bright I won der what the wave meant.

White heat is scream ing in the jun gle.

Com plete the mo tion if you stum ble.

Go ask the dust for an y ans wers.

(Cmaj7)Come back with fif ty bel ly dan cers.

The (G)world I love.

(D)The tears I drop to be part of (Cmaj7)the wave, can’t stop.

(G)Ev er won (D)der if it’s (Bm)all for you.

The (G)world I love.

(D)The trains I hop to be part of (Cmaj7)the wave, can’t stop.

(G)Come and tell (D)me when it’s (Cmaj7)time to.

Sweet heart is bleed ing in the snow cone.

So smart she’s lead ing me to o zone.

Mus ic, the great com mun i cat or.

Use two sticks to make it in the nat ure.

I’ll get you in to pen e tra tion.

The gen der of a gen er a tion.

The birth of ev ’ry oth er na tion.

Worth your weight, the gold of med i ta tion.

Can’t stop the spir its when they need you.

Mop tops are hap py when they feed you.

J.

But ter fly is in the tree tops.

(Cmaj7)Birds that the mean ing in to be bop.

The Wait a min ute, I’m (D)pass ing out win or lose

just like you.

(Em)Far more shock ing than (C)an y thing I ev er knew.

How ’bout you?

(Em)Ten more reas ons why I need some bod y new

just like you.

(Em)Far more shock ing than an y thing I ev er knew,

right on cue.

Can’t stop, ad dict ed to the shin dig.

Chop top, he says I’m gon na win big.

Choose not a life of im i ta tion.

Dis tant cous in to the res er va tion.

De funkt, the pis tol that you pay for.

This punk, the feel ing that you stay for.

In time I want to be your best friend.

East side love is liv ing on the west end.

Your im age in the dic tion ar y.

This life is more than or din ar y.

Can I get two, may be ev en three of these?

Come in from a space to teach you of the Ple ia des.

Can’t stop the spir its when they need you.

This life is more than just a read through.
