Call it education

It was somewhere in between

You gave me some sound advice

But I wasn't listening.

After we had capsized

I could tell you how you thought

Well, I'm not sure

But laid to rest on the city on the wall.

Not quite conversation

It was somewhere in between

You said everything is taught

And I listened patiently.

All this dog and pony

Still monkeys the whole time

We could not help from flinging shit

In our modern suits and ties.

Our instincts, they were cringing

About how we lived our lives

It didn't seem we'd lived enough

To even get to die.

All these dense distractions

So beautifully complex

Well, I love life's surprises so much

I don't want to know what's ahead.

Stubborn shouting, said

"I don't do what you do"

I don't know

Could it really hear highly if you highly care?

And you don't

Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

I've been away.

Hardly education

It was somewhere in between

Oh, I hit the roof but I had

Aimed for the ceiling.

Hardly education

All them books I didn't read

They just sat there on my shelf

Looking much smarter than me.

Good old nostradamus

He knew the whole damn time

There'd always be an east from west

And someone in there fighting.

Stubborn shouting, said

"I don't do what you do"

I don't know

Could it really hear highly if you highly care?

And you don't

Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

I've been away

Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

I don't know anyway

Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

I don't know

Could it really hear highly if you highly care?

And you don't

Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

Uh.. I fell away

Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

Oh, very well, then

Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

Oh, very well, then

Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty

Oh, very well, then

Oh, very well, then.
