And when you were a little boy

You'd sit on the fourth-floor sill

And you'd bomb on your bicycle down all the biggest hills

And you'd cannonball in all the pools and you would

Never cross at the crosswalk on your walk home from school

You don't want what you want

You don't need what you need

When the wife finally leaves

The mistress is less then she seemed

The desire came from the distance, see

And when the dream coincides

With reality

You feel unclean

'Cause you are unclean

If you know what I mean

Do you know what I mean?

You are weak in the mind

You are weak in the knees

You have got a disease

You have got a disease

But it's okay, man

(It's okay man)
