SHE WAS LOOKING FOR A CURE FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE
SHE ONLY LOOKED UP FROM HER BOOK
FOR STORIES ABOUT INSANE PRIESTS OR THE WEATHER
AND SHE THOUGHT THAT I WAS OUT TO GET HER

I RODE A BUS WAY DOWNTOWN
SHILLING PORN FOR THE MAN
SHE WAS MAKING BOOKS WAY OUT IN THE VALLEY
AND IT WAS RIDING ON HER BRAIN

WHEN THE MOMENT'S RIPE, I COULD FREEZE IT
AND I'LL HOLD IT IN A SONG
I'LL STEAL IT'S SOUL AND LET IT LINGER
SO IT WILL NEVER HAVE TO LIVE ALONE

TIME OUT HERE'S DIFFERENT...I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT
IT'S FAST AND RELAXED ALL AT ONCE
AND I BARELY EVER HEAR MY PAST
WHEN IT COMES KNOCKIN'
I THINK I LOST IT IN THE SUN

WHEN THE MOMENT'S RIPE, I COULD FREEZE IT
AND I'LL HOLD IT IN A SONG
I'LL STEAL IT'S SOUL AND LET IT LINGER
SO IT WILL NEVER HAVE TO LIVE ALONE
