Confusion is to commotion
What love is to our devotion
Imperceptibly big, big as the ocean
And equally hard to control
So save your predictions and burn your assumptions
Love is friction, ripe for comfort
Endless equations and tugging persuasions
Doors open up to interpretation
Expecting perfection leaves a lot to ignore
When the past is the present and the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before
The looser things get, the tighter you become
The looser things get, tighter
Not one man can be greater than the sum
It's not a negative thought, I'm positive
Positive, positive
Falling down, not staying down
Coulda held me up, rather tear me down
Drown in the river
Expecting perfection leaves a lot to endure
When the past is the present and the future's no more
When every tomorrow is the same as before
Numbers keep falling off the calendar's floor
We're stuck in our boxes, windows open no more
Collecting up the forget-me-nots, not recalling what they're for
I'm in love with clairvoyants 'cause they're out of this world
I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back
[In the background:]
Took my love to have and to hold
Held me down in the river
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back
[In the background:]
Took my love to have and to hold
Drowning in the river
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back
I know the girls wanna dance
Away their circumstance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
I know the girls wanna dance
Clairvoyants in a trance
I know the boys wanna grow
Their dicks and fix and fire things
Their dicks and fix and fire things
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
Stand back when the spirit comes
