Song lyrics

Standing naked in your kitchen

Feeling free that I could be alive

Clearly I'm a contradiction

Too young to be my wife


A peaceful storm is never hectic

Her mellow voice that I could be within

The uniform is anorexic

A jealous choice won't win


A metamorphosis samurai

Y'got a little lord fish and I don't know why I got a

Metamorphosis samurai


Paint your face 'cause I'm a black foot

I thought I counted up the fireflies

Close enough to get a good look

Time to mobilize


A metamorphosis samurai

Y'got a little lord fish and I don't know why I got a

Metamorphosis samurai


I'm a lonely lad

I've lost myself out on the range

I don't remember much

So don't ask me I've gone insane


Taking acid in a graveyard

Stealing food to keep the night alive

Every day I try to play hard

Even with my lies


The day they found you on a tour bus

The news was barren as a desert bone

The tabloids made a kind of small fuss

A couple pictures shown


I'm a lonely lad

I've lost myself out on the range

I don't remember much

So don't ask me I've gone insane


Slowly turning into driftwood

No one ever wants to die alone

Thinking that a pretty gift could

Make you less unknown


Dirty sneakers on the pavement

The brilliant features of a common man

See the miracle of your life

No one ever can


I'm a lonely lad

I've lost myself out on the range

I don't remember much

So don't ask me I've gone insane


See the world go by

The changes that we entertain

I don't recall it all

Remember I have gone insane
