Something To Say

Toad The Wet Sprocket

he's got a thing about losing control

carries it a mile just to see how far he'll go

and he brushes up his chops as he tries to fake a smile

a friend indeed but what i need's someone who'll stay a while

someone to stay a while



you can bend my ear

we can talk all day

just make sure that i'm near

when you've really got something to say



he drops hints but he won't tell you what's really on his mind

but i know if i look that it's easy to find

and he's got a way with his anger and the way he lets it show

like the smoldering smoke when the fire's left the coals

when the fire has left the coals



you can take me down

to show me your home

not the place where you live

but the place where you belong

you can bend my ear

we can talk all day

just make sure i'm around

when you've finally got something to say

and what are you meaning by

"i don't deserve this life?"



his door is always open and he's always got the time

to give a little something even though he gets behind

and your trips become his and your lives are intertwined

but like the horse with the junkie it's all in your mind

it's all in your mind



you can take me down

to show me your home

not the place where you live

but the place where you belong

you can bend my ear

we can talk all day

just make sure you're around

when i've finally got something to say
