The Simplest Thing

歌詞

The rain starts off and it wakes you up You can't sleep with that racket on the roof You get up slow but you can't get going It seems this morning the lowness has won Did you stop to see mediocrity and your self pity? They were stealing a kiss, look at their lips, still shiny Did you notice that happiness Happens less the more often you stop to find where it's been hiding You say, "It's not my fault that I get so low There's a weight on my soul that just keeps pulling me down, It's pulling me down, I swear it" So come on by my house and unleash me your monsters With you at the helm we'll go crashing around together Don't mistake some initial hate for something more than cautionary Cause baby this is love, I'll come down to hell to keep you company Of all the days we've got we should be screaming out... Of all the days we've got we should be screaming out... Of all the days we've got we should be singing... What's to be done? One hundred and one In a tent for twelve with fingers and elbows In innocent ribs, we're minding our business We're just minding our business instead of minding our minds In times when the storms could ravage your clothes, The sound and the colour could render you blind And the throes of a nightmare can sing you to sleep Then some foreign machine wakes you up at a mean hour But heaven is there, it's under your hair, It hides in the noon noise way up in the air Like a bird on the breeze Waiting for you and maybe me too What's there to do? One hundred and two Are out on the doorstep and they're pushing the bolts back They're wanting in, they're humming our hymn Everybody's singing like beautiful birds... Everybody's singing like beautiful birds... Everybody's singing like beautiful birds... In the trees, listen to it, and it's easy man, you can do it too Sing: I know what I want I know what I need Cause it's the simplest thing It's the simplest thing It's the simplest thing 'cause it's the simplest thing Of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out... Of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out... Of all the nights we touch we should be swinging around from house to house If I could cheer you up that would mean so much, Clowns in love and just laughing it off, laughing it off, laughing it off You say, "It's not my fault that I get so low But to drown you too, that's a sick way to love, it's a sick way to love, It's a fucking sick way to love"
