Here in this storm you are the eye in the calm
And I am the norm and you are the axis upon
Which I stand in a state of alarm
And all these twists and turns they take us to a nice place
And by any other name you'd still have grace
Here in the swarm we'd stay close and warm
And I am a bore and you are the core of what I am longing for
And all these twists and turns they take us to a nice place
And by other name you'd still have grace
And all the twisting lines they blow our minds
And at any other time you might be mine
Hey hath no furry
Like the sediment spite
You go out on a weekend
And you get in a fight
But I ain’t no bruiser
I’m a man of simple taste
I would rather stay home and smoke a number
Than go out and get punched in the face
And I know you feel fired up
But just sit back and we can sort it out
We could go to the dump
And smash up old computers
Or we could go to the top of tower
And spit down on the suiters
I’ll put on the kettle
I’ll make a cup of tea
You can tell me all your thoughts man
You can tell me how ya feeling 'cause
I know you feel fired up
So just sit back and we can
We can, we can sort it out
You gotta have faith
