Lyrics

You're not what you said you are
Last time you were wide and far
Now you're a slippery fish swimming in the green
And I'm a dirty toad wanting to get clean
I've gone the wrong way down a one way street
Walking on my head instead of my feet
I read the sign posted at the top of the road
But this is not the pleasant street that it showed

Bad dust swept me off my feet
Had a ticket to the ceiling, and now I'm on the floor
Asked for candy from the cherubs, got snuff from the Devil
And I'm lying in the gutter watching stars come crashing down upon my head

You put me on the wrong shelf
Upside down beside myself
I'm sitting with the headless dolls
Bricks of Lego, missile down the hole
We're in the ugly duckling crew
Listen fast for king different swan song
We'll spread our wings and dive away
Into the night to sleep through the day

Bad dust swept me off my feet
Had a ticket to the ceiling, and now I'm on the floor
Asked for candy from the cherubs, got snuff from the Devil
And I'm dying in the gutter watching stars come crashing down upon my head

I'm going South on a North bound train
You're underwater in an aero-plane
I'm doing 40 in a contra-flow
Driving in the fast lane deathly slow
I'm crawling with the lions
I'm roaring with the snails
I'm diving with the birds
I'm flying with the whales
I wanted fast, not slow
I wanted high, not low
I wanted light, not dark
Just a match with a spark

Bad dust swept me off my feet
Had a ticket to the ceiling, and now I'm on the floor
Asked for candy from the cherubs, got snuff from the Devil
And I'm lying in the gutter watching stars come crashing down upon my head
