lyrics

Instead of shaking
just sitting shaking
why don't you just go somewhere
and find somebody you can keep?

Instead of moving
just crawling moving
pack yourself a suitcase
paint it white
and then call it a sheep

Instead of wounding
just winding wounding
when did you get so wound up?

Now i'm not one to
turn down suprises
accepting when the author's you
and when the one suprised is me

I'm sticky caught up
but with my shoes off
time heals everything
I'm hoping it can heal the stuff I think

Instead of cutting
the classic cutting
why dont you just cut it out?
why dont you just cut it out?

I'm still biding all my time
I'm biting off my tongue
I'm fed up I mean I'm full
I've had enough I'm done

Instead of turkey
or chicken jerkey
Why dont you just find yourself a man that you can call a wife?

Dont mean to say that
I mean to say that
After all its just a story we make up and call it life

Instead of shaking
just sitting shaking
one day I'm gonna shake it off
I swear I'm gonna shake it off

I'm still biding all my time
I'm biting off my tongue
I'm fed up I mean I'm full
I've had enough I'm done

But if you want another break
you got some bones to shake
remember that earthquake of '94?
remember when they told us about the war?
And what about the time in '63
when deaths were big on your TV?
