Don't Touch That Thing

Don't touch that thing, you don't know where it's been

We brought it home, we don't know what it is

Keep it locked away where no one can find it

But its on my mind almost all the time

Well when you get right down to the matter

It's been all these years and things aren't getting better

Behind every sunny day, a shadow lies

Behind ever pair of smiling eyes

You gotta leave, leave, leave, leave, leave it alone

You gotta walk, walk, walk, walk, walk out the door

You gotta start, start, start all over again

Don't touch that thing, don't touch that thing

So I drive to the place where dark birds gather

To drink from pools of stagnant water

Clouds roll up and block the sun

I'm gonna drink through the rain with the radio on

But all the radio says is blah, blah blah

And the morning zoo goes ha, ha, ha

I shake my head and go ya, ya, ya

Drive home and sitck my head in the oven

But the gas is turned off, so I watch tv

You say - all you ever do is watch tv

Eyes glaze over as darkness grows

Don't touch that thing, don't touch that thing

And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry now
