( G D/F# Em  Em D/F# G )
You can hold her hand
And show her how you cry
Explain to her your weakness
So she understands:
And then roll over and die

You can brave decisions
Before you crumble up inside
Spend your time asking 
Everyone else's permission:
And then run away and hide

You can sit on chimneys 
And put some fire up your ass
No need to know 
What you're doing or waiting for:
But if anyone should ask?
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins 
And we've been hanging out
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins
And relieve us our doubt

Lalala...

You can hold her eggs
But your basket has a hole
You can lie between her legs 
And go lookin for: 
Tell her you're searching for her soul

You can wait for ages 
And watch your compost turn to coal 
But time is contagious:
Everybody's getting old

You can sit on chimneys
And put some fire up your ass
No need to know
What you're doing or waiting for:
But if anyone should ask?
Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins
And we've been hanging out
Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins 
And relieve us our doubt

Lalala..
