[Intro]

[Verse 1]
You can hol
#
d her hand
and show her
how you cry
Explain to her
#
your weakness
so she unders
tands and the
n roll over an
d die
Well you can b
rave decisions
before
you crumble up
inside
Spend your tim
e asking ever
yone else's pe
rmission and t
hen run away a
nd hide
[Chorus]
You can sit on
chimneys
put some fire
up your ass
No need to kno
w what you're
doing or wait
ing for bu
t if any one
should ask?
Tell them I've
been licking
coconut skins
and we've
been hanging
out
Tell them God
just dropped b
y to forgive o
ur sins and
relieve us
our doubt
[Instrumental]
(x2)
[Verse 2]
You can hold h
er eggs
But your baske
t has a hole
You can lie be
tween her legs
And go lookin
' for:
Tell her you'r
e searching fo
r her soul!
You can wait f
or ages
and watch you
r compost turn
to coal
But time is co
ntagious:
Everybody's
getting old
[Chorus]
You can sit on
chimneys
put some fire
up your ass
No need to kno
w what you're
doing or look
ing for bu
t if any one
should ask?
Tell them I've
been cooking
coconut skins
and we've
been hanging
out
Tell them God
just dropped b
y to forgive o
ur sins and
relieve us
our doubt
