Showers pounding out a new beat 
I trade my old shoes for new feet 
I grab a new seat 
I don't like the one I got 
The fabric's wearing through 
And it's wearing me out 
You're wearing me down 

Watching old baseball games 
And low budget telethons 
Ain't like watching you yourself 
When you yourself is on 
Got time to wander to waste and to whine 
But when it comes to you 
It seems like I just can't find the time 

So watch your head and then watch the ground 
It's a silly time to learn to swim 
When you start to drown 
It's a silly time to learn to swim 
On the way down 

If I gave you my number 
Would it still be the same 
If I saved you from drowning 
Promise me you'll never go away 
Promise me you'll always stay 

Closed down the last local zoo 
I'm gonna win the endless war 
Over who kills the last koala bear 
And who in death will love him more then I 
He grabs me by the hand 
Drags me to the shore 
And says maybe you don't love me 
But you'll grow to love me even more 
And I well I'm not surprised
