OK, so listen: I like my life a lot

It's a shame that these sharks got my leg and won't stop

They won't stop, they won't stop, they won't stop -

They're on top

Keep them from biting and make sure my bedroom door's still locked

Oh, look at the clock

You should practice these things by yourself

I know these words really hurt but they help

And I'm doing the best that I can

To make a spell in this sand;

To be with my family and friends;

We're too many means without ends

I thought you died in that car?

I swore I saw your broken arms

But now that you're here there's no harm

Got a magicians touch, and his charm

There are so many words in this song

That let me know that I'm wrong

You never really were gone;

My writing changes those thoughts

Do you understand what I mean?

It was only writing for me

But my ink spills you on the page -

Through this change, I've been saved

Holy water just won't do it;

It's much too easy to see right through it

It takes some time and some discipline

In our respective fields of medicine

Lalalalalalalala...

I walked into a Laundromat and lit up a cigarette

A woman said, "Extinguish that. You can't smoke in here."

But I can, and I am

And I'm so separated from my own awkward body

I'm stretching out to clear a pool of water

An open invitation - to us from the oceans

Alchemy is fun

You see you don't need to change things;

Things change themselves:

From metal to gold, from raindrops to snow

It just so happens the snow will change us all

Ironic how these bones can't handle the fall

Nostalgia dies every time we lie about some details we hide -

Cause the truth truly hurts sometimes

So don't you cry

Don't keep me up all night

Don't say that you're all right when the truth is you're not all right

Don't you understand that alchemy is not about the life we lead?

It's all about the change to things

It's getting harder every day -

Hard for me to breath:

It's hard enough to breathe

I want to change things
