Bring me the head of John the Baptist
That way he won't get very far
I've been working through a mood all day
And I can't get what I think I want
I think I want what I think I want
Bring me another glass of water
So I can see if you've been listening
I know that you're supposed to do for me
What I wouldn't do for anyone
What I would not do for anyone
What I would not do to anyone
Clean up the head of John the Baptist
I'll wear my headphones in the guitar
Bring me a coin for every tooth
I'll count the ways that I'm not beautiful
Stare outside at the world go by
Couldn't do to me what I didn't want
Couldn't do to me what I don't want

We never thought that you'd succumb
Only thought you were playing dumb
Told the boss that the world was flat
Cast your vote and took it back
Messy hair in the ICU
Overweight and falling through the
Skylight above you head
The hole that you pretend
Isn't really there
When it's really there
The driver said to hide your teeth
Sirens cleaning up the street
Saw the taxi slowing down
Gloves and blossoms on the ground

If you don't want what is yours you can't take what is mine
We could live inside our history until it makes us blind
There were children in the house but they never figured out
How the pay phone near the factory made the family feel alright
When she leaned out of her room I could see her from the road
The buses made it hard to hear but I felt like I was home
We were talking in the street and our finger tasted sweet
But the roads all soon were overgrown and the symptoms all were brief
I have longed to move away from the burning on the ground
to the thunder in the paper air cause you won't find me there and you can't find me here
When we wonder where the wonder went if you could find me there then you might find me here
