Ooh Do I Love You

Mud. Muddy slush. Slushy lawn

In the in-between of the Winter and Spring and the lawn's long gone

People walking, lotsa people walking over the life in the mud on the sidewalk under my crawl

Mud bubbles pop and burst breath into the air

Where's the inbetween if everyone's a me

That there tree grew outta me

People talking, lotsa people talking

I'm hurt, you're hurt, my dad's hurt and haven't you learned everyone's hurt

Sure, we're all smiles seeing reptiles and birds in bars

We measure up each species in our heads

Barely aware that we're so scared we measure up each species in our heads

I can step on that li'l fucker's jaw

I can snap him in half like a wishbone

And I think to myself (like I'm always thinking)

I want everything and two of some of this shit

Find my place in the ape house

See myself in their eyes

My fingers on their feet

My possessive love somewhere in their embrace

My freedom's limitations in their swinging and hollering

I'm singing, I'm hollering

I'm singing, I'm hollering

I'm always bothering
