The Simplest Thing - Hey Rosetta!

The rain starts off

And it wakes you up

You can’t sleep

With that racket on the roof

You get up slow

But you can’t get going

It seems this morning

The lowness has won

Did you stop to see

Mediocrity and your self pity

They were stealing a kiss

Look at their lips, still shiny

Did you notice that happiness

Happens less the more often

You stop to find where it’s been hiding

You say it’s not my fault

That I get so low

There’s a weight

On my soul that just

Keeps pulling me down,

It’s pulling me down

I swear it

So come on by my house

And unleash me your monsters

With you at the helm

We’ll go crashing around together

Don’t mistake some initial hate

For something more than cautionary

Cause baby this is love

I’ll come down to hell

To keep you company

Of all the days we’ve got

We should be screaming out

Of all the days we’ve got

We should be screaming out

Of all the days we’ve got

We should be singing

What’s to be done

One hundred and one

In a tent for twelve

With fingers and elbows

In innocent ribs

We’re minding our business

We’re just minding our business

Instead of minding our minds

In times when the storms

Could ravage your clothes

The sound and the colour

Could render you blind

Or the throes of a nightmare

Could sing you to sleep

Then some foreign machine wakes

You up at a mean hour

But heaven is there

Its under your hair

It hides in the new noise

Way up in the air

Like a bird on the breeze

Waiting for you and maybe me too

And whats there to do

One hundred and two

Are out on the doorstep

And they’re pushing the bolts back

They’re wanting in

They’re humming our hymn

Everybody’s singing like beautiful birds

Everybody’s singing like beautiful birds

Everybody’s singing like beautiful birds

In the trees, listen to it

And it’s easy man

You can do it too

Sing: I know what I want

And I know what I need

Cause it’s the simplest thing

It’s the simplest thing

It’s the simplest thing

Ohhh

It’s just the simplest thing

Of all the nights we’ve got

We should be stepping out

Of all the nights we’ve got

We should be stepping out

Of all the nights we touch

We should be swinging around

From house to house

If I could cheer you up

That would mean so much

Clowns in love just laughing it off

Laughing it off, laughing it off

You say its not my fault

That I get so low

But to drown you too

That’s a sick way to love

It’s a sick way to love

It’s a fucking sick way to love
