explaining cricket

ya know my three best friends were drummers

yeah

when i still had a face

just like a pizza slice

i knew my zildjians from my paradiddle

plug straight into the stereo

watch the damn thing blow

yeh orchy bottle bongs and rocket fuel

while leaves gather in the corner of the pool

but now my words the6yre drownin in the amber again

it's like explainin cricket to americans

just tryin to get a hold

the whole damn thing

oh oh oh

weekend experimentation

now you need laxidation

where did we all get the need for the daily medication?

now my words they're drownin in the liquor again

it's like explaining cricket to americans

just tryin to get a hold of

the whole damn thing

oh oh oh oh

oh

i love this 'cos we never had a clue

damn our cynicism and the truth

but now my words they're drownin in the amber again

it's like explaining cricket to americans

i'm just tryin to get a hold

the whole thing really

so

this is the twilight

of our youth

i wrote jingle

let us show the truth

let them eat cherries
