Something On My Insides Lyrics

There was something in the air today forcing me to sneeze

Like a beggar on a doorstep too particular to please

My reflection in the mirror a wild flower neath the trees

While the ants crawl all around it trying to square dance with the fleas

Something on my insides was begging to get out

Some call it strange frustration some call it senseless doubt

January sunshine like an ice cold sultry whore

Something in the air today that said there must be more

There was something in your eyes today hollow and removed

Like a dying cancer patient whose wounds are finally soothed

By the warmth of revelation and theories never proved

While the nurses chart the progress and the doctors get slow toothed

Something on your insides that screamed

I've got to go

Afraid to let the chips fall where they may they fall so slow

Poison in the punchbowl the party's getting weird

Something in your eyes today something that I feared

On the smokey road to yesterday with a Jews harp and guitar

I found another parking space and walked into a bar

I emptied out my pockets put my feelings in a jar

Then staggered home alone too drunk to wish upon a star

Something on my insides kept calling out your name

An aging dog who can't learn tricks I only play one game

January sunshine and a pillow soaked with tears

Something in the air today that's been hanging there for years
