Living it up In an apartment Living it up By a convenient store It was thorn in my side It was a thorn It was a carpenters line It was a thorn Deliver me I want to see your hands Deliver me From a sea of questions Do you like birds Do you like real big birds Do you like great big birds This is the biggest bird I've ever seen The biggest building brought me down on my knees The wolves were spreading on the island You change your life around add verbs to everything Cover your head when there is action I woke up stumbling still staring at my shoes The devil lay across my bedspread Your friends are kings and queens and there heading for the noose They'll hang like gamefish by the morning Buy a new shirt Buy some new shoes And a new jacket Way out west they build elevators They build relationships there filling up empty boxes And 1000 drummers playing 1000 songs saying 1000 rights equal 1000 wrongs Don't you sharpen your teeth and your wits on children You need some answers well you already got em This is a harbor of boats and there aren't any sailors This is a forest of snipers and theres not any cover
