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
