Strange Youth Lyrics
Randy Stonehill
I've led a strange youth I've let a strange youth And I see things through twisted eyes
Peeking in corners when nobody's there Talking to bugs on the wall Running 'round naked and counting my hair Wishing that I was a large tennis ball Rolling on by and not caring at all Hugging the phone but not answering the call
Painting a peanut shell's insides all red Giving my naval a show Inking in lines on my father's forehead Ordering the street lights to get up and go Or wishing that I could be covered with snow Waiting for one of my sideburns to grow...oh
Fishing in sewers for golden de'blumes Playing with boats in the tub Toking my hookah on grey afternoons Forming an I Hate Amphetamines Club Or walking with "Biss" at twilight to the pub Going to movies and saving the stub
(Instrumental break)
Sitting on street corners life flashing by...flash Cleaning the dirt 'twixt my toes Mandate from Heaven: the whole world must die Sitting there quietly picking my nose Oh gee, what a shame...that's the way that it goes Everyone's guilty and everyone knows
