The Fruit That Ate Itself

(album: The Fruit That Ate Itself - 1997)

We'll take a drive in the wrong hand lane
Bad breath talking about fresh rain
What hand? What hand is going to shake the same?
Are you gonna be your own goddamn best friend?
Well, we taught the fruit how to eat itself
It was hanging out alone all on the shelf
(It was hanging out by itself)
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well

How do I land? How do I land? How do I land?
'Cause I don't understand

Walk across the country, shaking many hands
And you're buying the product
But you didn't get that you already got it
And you do not understand

(You got yourself a muffin
And you went to the chicken and you asked him where's the stuffing
You want a different view so you looked at the whole island
And you need to build a house so you find a plan)

Well, take a drive in the wrong hand lane
Got bad breath talking 'bout fresh rain water
My hand is going to shake the same
Are you gonna be your own goddamn best friend?
Well, we taught the fruit how to eat itself
It was hanging out alone all on the shelf
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well, well

(You went to moldy muffin and you got yourself a muffin
And you think you're pretty tough, but you ain't done nothing
And you're going to the phone, you're gonna get animal
You're gonna go crazy, maybe you'll go to hell)

A black hole talking about nothing
You can't get the chicken or the stuffing
Going around and you think that you're tough
When you can't kick ass

(And you went to moldy muffin and you got yourself muffin
And the black hole and you're talking about nothing
And you think that you said something, but you didn't say nothing
And I think that I heard you, but I was listening to my headphones)

Take a drive on a downtown train
Wake up so you can get drunk again
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well

(But you bought yourself a muffin
You meant to move the product and you got yourself a muffin
And you want a different view so you searched the whole wide island
And you go to the saloon and got yourself a mermaid
And you get and you went to swimming pool...)

Well, take a drive in the wrong hand lane
Got bad breath talking 'bout fresh rain
We taught the mirror how to admire itself
Are you gonna get sick worrying 'bout your health?

(You walk across the country and you move the product
But you do not get what you already got
When you get on the train, usually, you're kissing
But you wake up and you feel OK)

(You feel like you're at the bottom
And I guarantee you rotate the whole wide island
And you want a different view so you searched the whole wide island
You want a different view so you looked at the whole island
And you need to build a house so you feel OK)

Where do I land? Where do I land? Where do I land?
'Cause I don't understand

Well, you ache in your bones and you think you're too insane
But you can't, you can't, you can't explain
But you complain and it's already nothing
And you go to nose and nose and eat yourself a muffin

(You went to moldy muffin and you got yourself a muffin
And you want a different view so you rotate the whole wide island
And you go to the saloon And got yourself some water
And you get and you went to swimming pool)

A black hole talking about nothing
You went to moldy muffin and you got yourself a muffin
A black hole talking about nothing
A black (black) hole talking about nothing
You get chicken but you don't get stuffing
It doesn't mean all that much, you know?
