Damien Rice - Coconut Skins

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 Then run away and hide Or you can sit on chimneys Put some fire up your eyes 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 Oh, you can hold her eggs But your basket has a hole Or you can lie between her legs And go looking for Tell her you're searching for her soul You can wait for ages Watch your compost turn to coal The time is contagious Everybody's getting old So you can sit on chimneys Put some fire up your eyes No need to know What you're doing or looking 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
