lyrics

If everything returns from where it came, we should throw ourselves back into the garbage can.
You can count the tulips -- count the tulips in your life.
We will not pledge allegiance to any soldiers, who haven't tasted blood in their mouths.
Blood in the mouth is sweet sugar for the soul.
Our poor ears are bruised from suffering fools of decay.
Pardon all of us prisoners for all of our fidgeting.
Walls do what they do best --they wipe the mind clean.
See them sprout up so fast, in the daytime. They sprout up so fast so, you better play it safe. Play it safe.
My poor cousin never turned thirteen and a half. His white blood cell count shot straight through the sky.
He laughed to himself -- all through the night: " Oh, My Lord, this cough just won't go away."
You can count the tulips, count the tulips in your life. See them sprout up so fast -- in the daytime. You can count the tulips, count the tulips in your life, they sprout up so fast, so, you'd better play it safe.
Play it safe?
