Put a Sock In It

You say I’m crazy
I would say otherwise
Change is a challenging chore, 
But honey, I ain’t a bore

Put a sock in it…
Stop throwing your childish fit
Pressured to do something I don’t want to
Ta-ta…love of mine
I’m fading away…insanity becomes serpentine to my skull and soul
And I see that you’ve vanished from my side

You say I’m a jerk
Drifting away into another place called Woe…
I’m gonna go berserk 
No way, no way, it wasn’t what you called “Your Special Day”
Fed up with the failures of yesterday
But, there’s tomorrow…my spirits dance and my spirits prance 
In front of me, you cried because I was gone
I lost my train of thought…waiting till the day’s done

Put a sock in it…
Stop throwing your childish fit
Pressured to do something I don’t want to
Ta-ta…love of mine
I’m fading away…insanity becomes serpentine to my skull and soul
And I see that you’ve vanished from my side

Bite the bullet for once in your life
Sift out the strife that cuts me like a knife
Fading away….I pray that I won’t be hunted down today like prey
Hey, hey, hey I loved you, but now I see the real you…today…
Your true colors were blending with my own
I, the broken bone, was left all alone
God, my backbone, has come to rescue me, but I’m on my own

Put a sock in it…
Stop throwing your childish fit
Pressured to do something I don’t want to
Ta-ta…love of mine
I’m fading away…insanity becomes serpentine to my skull and soul
And I see that you’ve vanished from my side

Sunday, Monday,
I pray I don’t sleep and sway
Tuesday, Wednesday, 
I’m about to go cray-cray
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday arrives…
It brings to life happiness and high hopes…
Dive into me, ocean-whelmed diver…you are a sweet survivor
But, my future is a mighty blur…blur…
Find me a cure…quickly, find me a cure…
The hardships – I will endure, I will endure…

Put a sock in it…
Stop throwing your childish fit
Pressured to do something I don’t want to
I don’t need them and I don’t seek their attention
Pleasure beyond measure will not release the tension,
Growing inside and out of me…
But, possibly, you’ll soon see
That you and I are like 2 seas…
Whirling at ease, doing what we please
Doing what we please at ease…at ease…
Don’t, just don’t be a tease, a tease

Put a soaked sock in it…
Don’t throw us both into a bottomless pit
You say I’m crazy
I say, “Yes!” Then, I ask, “Do you see us both at the sea of ecstasy?”
God’s pool is the sea we long to roam…
But, first, let’s find our true Home

Put a sock in it… Stop throwing your childish fit Pressured to do something I don’t want to Ta-ta…love of mine I’m fading away…insanity becomes serpentine to my skull and soul And I see that you’ve vanished from my side And I see that you’ve vanished from my side
