flower drum song

clear out the spiderwebs

in your mind

when a hint of violence

makes you cry

get on my speedboat

the water's fine

the ocean calms you down

leaves you kind

you're no psychologist

but you know why

you get so upset

when time slips by

face your enemy

he's laughing while

you run circles round

but you can't hide

i'll be the one who reaches out when you're gone

i need the salt in the wound for another song

i'll be the one who gets us both out of this

i tell it like it is

you call it arrogance

you're drawn to confidence

it gets you high

but it leaves you powerless

in a trophy life

you're no apologist

and you'd go blind

before you ever let

let 'em see you cry

but i'll be the one who reaches out when you're gone

i need the salt in the wound for another song

i'll be the one who gets us both out of this

i tell it like it is

you call it arrogance

oh oh oh
