Hey Rosetta
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
the rain starts off and it wakes you up
2
you can't sleep with that racket on the roof
3
you get up slow but you can't get going
4
it seems this morning the lowness has won
5
did you stop to see? mediocrity and your self pity,
6
they were stealing a kiss, look at their lips, still shiny
7
did you notice that happiness
8
happens less the more often you stop to find where it's been hiding
9
you say, "it's not my fault that i get so low
10
there's a weight on my soul that just keeps pulling me down,
11
it's pulling me down, i swear it"
12
so come on by my house and unleash me your monsters
13
with you at the healm we'll go crashing around together
14
don't mistake some initial hate for something more that cautionary
15
cause baby this is love, i'll come down to hell to keep you company
16
of all the days we've got we should be screaming out...
17
of all the days we've got we should be singing...
18
what's to be done? one hundred and one
19
in a tent for twelve with fingers and elbows
20
in innocent ribs, we're minding our business
21
we're just minding our business instead of minding our minds
22
in times when the storms will ravage your clothes,
23
the sound and the colour could render you blind
24
and the throes of a nightmare can sing you to sleep
25
then some foreign machine wakes you up at a mean hour
26
but heaven is there, under your hair,
27
it hides in the noon noise way up in the air
28
like a bird on the breeze
29
waiting for you and maybe me too
30
whats there to do? one hundred and two
31
are out on the doorstep and they're pushing the bolts back
32
they're wanting in, they're humming our hymn
33
everybodys singing like beautiful birds...
34
in the trees, listen to it, it's easy man, you can do it too
35
sing: i know what i want
36
i know what i need
37
cause it's the simplest thing
38
of all the nights we've got we should be stepping out...
39
of all the nights we touch we should be swinging around from house to house
40
if i could cheer you up it would mean so much,
41
clowns in love and laughing it off, laughing it off, laughing it off
42
you say, "its not my fault that i get so low
43
but to drown you too, that's a sick way to love, it's a sick way to love,
44
it's a fucking sick way to love"
