Generate meaning
1
so there's this guy named tobias
2
and he staggers up and down my street
3
and he makes us four white people nervous
4
and the peace lady across the street
5
she lies and says it's not her house
6
and it ain't her house
7
and he stumbles through my newly seeded lawn,
8
up my front porch,
9
through my front door
10
he smells like a thousand vices
11
but he looks like he's got more
12
maybe he's got more yeah
13
well he begins to point
14
and to babble about the floor plan of my house
15
like a stranger eager to give you directions
16
because for some reason
17
we all get proud when we've been somewhere before
18
and we're half annoyed
19
just a little intrigued
20
mostly wishin that he would
21
hurry up and leave
22
so we politely, ah we urge him towards the door
23
yeah we urge him towards the door
24
but real politely, but definitely towards the door
25
politely though, but towards the door
26
then he stuttered somethin about
27
how this used to be his house
28
and oh lord i have tried
29
i wanted to lay down my life
30
but i am not enough
31
no i, i cannot give enough oh no
32
oh lord maybe i lied
33
i thought i could give everything inside of me
34
but this is not enough
35
now i'm thinkin i'll just take tobias home for me
36
for me yeah
37
for me yeah
38
take tobias home for me
39
yeah but my friend mikey
40
ah he sizes him up and thinks he can take him
41
if he has to
42
tobias doesn't have a gun
43
but i am certain, i am certain
44
we have all checked
45
oh and the church girl 'cross the street
46
she comes and speaks in tongues
47
and prays over him
48
but he seems all too familiar with her routine
49
yean, oh with her routine
50
yeah but to her credit she wanted to love him
51
yeah to her credit she wanted to love him
52
but then he stutters somethin about
53
how this used to be his house
54
and oh lord i have tried
55
i wanted to lay down my life
56
but i am not enough
57
no i, i cannot give enough oh no
58
oh lord maybe i lied
59
i thought i could give everything inside of me
60
but this not enough
61

66
i'll take tobias home for me
67
so tobias he asked me for some change
68
to catch the bus home
69
but you know i know better
70
and i tell him no, but i'll take you wherever you wanna go man
71
and he says, really wherever i wanna go
72
be it somewhere far away from my crazy head, can you get me there or somewhere new, you're so happy with yourself because you live with the poor but you can leave anytime you want to
73
so you're feelin a little guilty about maybe
74
how this used to be his house
75
and oh lord i have tried
76
i wanted to lay down my life
77
and i am not enough
78
no i, i cannot, did not give enough to you
79
and oh lord, maybe i have lied
80
i thought i could give everything inside of me
81
but this is not enough
82
now i'm thinkin
83
i'll just take tobias home for me yeah
84
for me yeah
85
take tobias home for me yeah
86
for me yeah
87
take tobias home
88
cause maybe it'll change me
89
all for me
