Begging Bone

you're just like a dog
with your begging bone
you're always chasing psychos
down those rabbit holes

you like them the best,
'cause they're the dangerous
and they get off on you
and your subservience

what can I do?
can't make a monkey out of you
I can't keep you wild and loose,
can't lock you in your room

I can't make you pay for dreams —
it's best you follow it
and can't teach you lessons
that you never want to learn

you started to believe
that you're completely unlovable,
which makes us want to laugh,
'cause you're adorable

you say you've been depressed,
but no doubt you'll get over it
and get back on your feet
just like a pugilist

what can I do?
can't make a monkey out of you
I can't keep you wild and loose,
can't lock you in your room

I can't make you pay for dreams —
it's best you follow it
and can't teach you lessons
that you never want to learn

it's okay to be afraid
of what's inside another mind
an invitation to discover
and explore the other side

it's okay to be afraid
of finding out you really care
like a hammer crashing down
between the clouds out on the air

pray that they come through
[of course they never do]
pray that they come through
[of course they never do]

pray that they come through
[of course they never do]
pray that they come through
[of course they never do]

[of course they never do]
[of course they never do]
[of course they never do]
[of course they never do]
