lyrics

Opening/Closing Sections

Voices 1 and 2
"Hey pretty mama, I know, pretty mama, I'm slow, pretty mama don't go
Once I'm awake they'll be no stopping me
I'll be ten times the man you thought I'd be (just wait you'll see)"

Voices 3 and 4
"Room to run, I need, room to run, so that I
I can show you how far I've come"

Middle Section
"Thought I was ready to jump in the ditch
And roll in the dirt with you
But then I realized that you just wouldn't do
I have to look straight at the truth

So I'll rewrite the book that I wrote while I'm pissing stones
Pissing stone, pissing stones (x2)

They told me to let go of my sense of taste
So I could grow hard for you
So I closed my eyes, let my right hand decide
The room was as white as could be

So I'll rewrite the book that I wrote while I'm pissing stones
Pissing stone, pissing stones (x2)"
