Lyrics

For millions of years, in millions of homes
A man loved a woman, a child then was born
It learned how to hurt, and it learned how to cry
Like humans do
I'm breathin' in, I'm breathin' out
Oh, so slip inside this funky house
Oh, the dish's in the sink
TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin', I'm shakin', I'm breakin'
Like humans do
Woo
I'm achin', I'm shakin', I'm breakin'
Like humans do
I work, and I dance, and I sleep, and I'm dead
I'm livin', I'm laughin', I'm lovin' myself
I never watch TV except when I'm stoned
Like humans do
I'm breathin' in, I'm breathin' out
Oh-oh
So slip inside this funky house
Oh-oh
The dish's in the sink
TV's in repair
Don't look at the floor
Don't go up the stairs
I'm achin', I'm shakin', I'm breakin'
Like humans do
Woo
I'm achin', I'm shakin', I'm breakin'
Like humans do
Woo
I'm breathin' in, I'm breathin' out, oh
So slip inside this funky house, oh
Wiggle while you work
Anybody can
The rain is pourin' in on a woman and a man
I'm achin', I'm shakin', I'm breakin'
Like humans do
Woo
I'm achin', I'm shakin', I'm breakin'
Like humans do (yeah)
I'm breathin' in, I'm breathin' out
Oh-oh
