It's the perfect time of yearSomewhere far away from hereI feel fine enough, I guessConsidering everything's a messThere's a restaurant down the streetWhere hungry people like to eatI could walk but I'll just driveIt's colder than it looks outside
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's goneThen you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawnWhen you try to see the world beyond your front doorTake your time 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smileWhen you realize that a guy my size might take a whileJust to try to figure out what all this is for
It's the perfect time of dayTo throw all your cares awayPut the sprinkler on the lawnAnd run through with my gym shorts onTake a drink right from the hoseAnd change into some drier clothesClimb the stairs up to my roomSleep away the afternoon
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's goneThen you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawnWhen you try to see the world beyond your front doorTake your time 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smileWhen you realize that a guy my size might take a whileJust to try to figure out what all this is for
Pinch me, pinch me'Cause I'm still asleepPlease God, tell meThat I'm still asleep
On an evening such as thisIt's hard to tell if I existPack the car and leave this townWho'll notice that I'm not around?I could hide out under thereI just made you say 'underwear'I could leave but I'll just stayAll my stuff's here anyway
It's like a dream you try to remember but it's goneThen you try to scream but it only comes out as a yawnWhen you try to see the world beyond your front doorTake your time 'cause the way I rhyme's gonna make you smileWhen you realize that a guy my size might take a whileJust to try to figure out what all this is forTry to figure out what all this is forTry to see the world beyond your front doorTry to figure out what all this is for

Under a canoe, sheltered from the hailShe lived six miles down the Portage TrailI met her mom, I met her popThey looked at me and licked their chops
She's born human, Raised by wolvesWill she ever understand my world?Born human to the crazy world then one day she wandered deep into the woods, into the woodsInto the woods, into the woods
She follows my hand, a map of veinsTo the fork in the lo chow mainHer eyes get that mischievous sparkChasing pigeons down in the park
She's born human, raised by wolvesWill she ever understand my world?Born human to the crazy worldThen one day she wandered deep into the wood, into the woods
The woods, the woods, the deep dark woodsThe woods, the woods, the deep dark woods
Into the woods, the woods etc..
Born human, raised by wolvesWill she ever understand my world?Born human to the crazy world
