Opium
IF I HAD A HAMMER
I'D WAKE UP MY NEIGHBORS
POUNDING OUT A RHYTHM
ALL ABOUT YOU
IF I HAD A PENCIL
I'D PUSH ME SOME PAPER
I'D BUILD A SKYSCRAPER
TO GET CLOSE TO YOU
IF I HAD A LASSO
I'D SAIL OUT THE WINDOW
AND LAND ON AN ISLAND
NEXT TO YOU
IF I HAD A HOT ROD
I'D FASTEN UP MY SEATBELT
AND BREAK THE SPEED LIMIT
GETTIN' TO YOU
BUT I AIN'T GOT A HAMMER
AND I AIN'T GOT A PENCIL
AND I AIN'T GOT A LASSO
SO I'M DOING IT THE HARD WAY
LIKE A POST POST-MODERN MAN
IF I HAD A CREDIT CARD
I'D CLEAR ME A PATHWAY
THROUGH THE DEEPEST JUNGLE
I'D WAKE UP MY NEIGHBORS
POUNDING OUT A RHYTHM
ALL ABOUT YOU
IF I HAD A PENCIL
I'D PUSH ME SOME PAPER
I'D BUILD A SKYSCRAPER
TO GET CLOSE TO YOU
IF I HAD A LASSO
I'D SAIL OUT THE WINDOW
AND LAND ON AN ISLAND
NEXT TO YOU
IF I HAD A HOT ROD
I'D FASTEN UP MY SEATBELT
AND BREAK THE SPEED LIMIT
GETTIN' TO YOU
BUT I AIN'T GOT A HAMMER
AND I AIN'T GOT A PENCIL
AND I AIN'T GOT A LASSO
SO I'M DOING IT THE HARD WAY
LIKE A POST POST-MODERN MAN
IF I HAD A CREDIT CARD
I'D CLEAR ME A PATHWAY
THROUGH THE DEEPEST JUNGLE
Upside Down
Don't ask me what I think of this
I only think of that.
Try talking?
First I'll try to hum
It's just that my sum isn't adding up.
Oh, let me state my case
I do as I am told
Keep within the keep, feed within the fold
As I brush away the flies. It's so hard.
Don't ask me, I don't seem to know.
I'm a bit slow, yeah
Try walking?
I'll just take the bus
It's not worth the fuss--well, is anything?
Oh let me stat my case
I teach what I am taught
Filter in a fact, confuse it for a thought
Oh, I'd rather use my time to steep.
Well I keep my feet in the air
and my head on the ground
Oh, I'm walking around upside down.
When I stop I can't see you stare
I can't hear a sound
Oh I'm walking around upside down.
