lyrics
Stumbling Block

I got up, I got out, and I left,
And I walked for days.
I searched, and tried to find
Some kind of peace of mind,
But it still haunts me,
And that hacks me off.

I flapped until my fat arse flew,
And I scanned horizons
Until I found a chink of light.
I flew towards it,
But bashed my beak against glass,
I looked inside, and I saw men and their machines lain broken.
I saw film reels and projectors,
All spinning round out of control.
They shone their light on my life,
They tried to make believe.
They said when the shit hits the fan,
The safest place to stand is right behind.

Well they're all behind me now,
They're right behind me.
They're all behind me, so I guess I should get on with it.
I'll get up, I'll get out, and I'll go,
And I'll walk the streets,
I'll try to find another whole to piss my soiled soul into.
I'll say love me
She'll say with my heart or my hand?
I'll say, well baby, I'll take what you can give,
Just lay me down and lay it on me.
I'll scratch the dirt for a jewell,
I'll pound the ground until the moon shines through,
It's not long since I had know what I was doing,
Won't be long until I will again.
