Wearing And Tearing

(album: Coda - 1982)

It starts out like a murmur
Then it grows like thunder
Until it bursts inside of you
Try to hold it steady
Wait until you're ready
Any second now will do
Throw the door wide open
Not a word is spoken
Anything that you want to do

And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know

Ah, don't you feel the same way?
Ah, don't you feel the same way?
But you don't know what to do?
No time for hesitating
Ain't no time for hesitating
All you got to do is move
They say you're feeling blue, well
I just found a cure
It's a thing you gotta do, yeah

And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know

Now listen
Well you say your body's aching?
Well, I know that it's aching
Chill bumps come up on you
Yeah, the funny fool
I love the funny fool
Just like fooling after school
And then you ask for medication
Who cares for medication?
When you've worn away the cure?

And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know

Go back to the country
Yeah, go back to the country
Feel a change is good for you
When you keep convincing
Ah, don't keep convincing
Well, what's that creeping up behind a you?
It's just an old friend
It's just an old friend
And what's that he's got for you?

And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know
And you know, and you know, and you know

Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance
Do your dance, do your dance, do your dance
Ooh, medication
Medication!
Medication!
