Lesson in Survival
Lesson in Survival
Spinning out on turns
That gets you tough
Guru books, the Bible
Only a reminder that you're
Just not good enough
You need to believe in something
Once I did in our love
Black road
Double yellow line
Friends and kin
Campers in the kitchen
That's fine, sometimes
But I know my needs
My sweet tumbleweed
I need more quiet times
By a river flowing
You and me
Deep kisses, and the sun
Going down
Maybe it's paranoia
Or sensitivity
Your friends protect you
Scrutinize me
I get so timid
Not at all the spirit
That's inside of me
Oh baby I can't seem to make it
With you socially
There's this reef around me
I'm looking way out at the ocean
Love to see that green water in motion
I'm gonna get a boat
And we can row it
If you ever get the notion
To be needed by me
Fresh salmon frying
And the tide rolling in
Went to see a friend tonight
Very late when I walked in
My talking as it rambled
Revealed suspicious reasoning
The visit seemed to darken him
I came in as bright
As a neon light
And I burned out
Right there before him
I told him these things
I'm telling you now
Watched them buckle up
In his brow
When you dig down deep
You lose good sleep
And it makes you
Heavy company
I will always love you
Hands alike
Magnet and iron
The souls
Spinning out on turns
That gets you tough
Guru books, the Bible
Only a reminder that you're
Just not good enough
You need to believe in something
Once I did in our love
Black road
Double yellow line
Friends and kin
Campers in the kitchen
That's fine, sometimes
But I know my needs
My sweet tumbleweed
I need more quiet times
By a river flowing
You and me
Deep kisses, and the sun
Going down
Maybe it's paranoia
Or sensitivity
Your friends protect you
Scrutinize me
I get so timid
Not at all the spirit
That's inside of me
Oh baby I can't seem to make it
With you socially
There's this reef around me
I'm looking way out at the ocean
Love to see that green water in motion
I'm gonna get a boat
And we can row it
If you ever get the notion
To be needed by me
Fresh salmon frying
And the tide rolling in
Went to see a friend tonight
Very late when I walked in
My talking as it rambled
Revealed suspicious reasoning
The visit seemed to darken him
I came in as bright
As a neon light
And I burned out
Right there before him
I told him these things
I'm telling you now
Watched them buckle up
In his brow
When you dig down deep
You lose good sleep
And it makes you
Heavy company
I will always love you
Hands alike
Magnet and iron
The souls
