Feather By The Road

It looks so pretty lying there on the floor
Never seen nothing, like it before
I know I am, so interested
To know how it feels, so I test it
And you turn to me, and you decree:

You don't know where that's been
(No you don't)
It could make you sick
(That it could)
So stay away from it
(Far away)

Please, oh please
It's sitting there, and it's free
Why won't you let me take it home with me
Don't you see the intrigue?
Why won't you agree?
Don't you see me praying?
Stop turning and saying:

You don't know where that's been
(No you don't)
It could make you sick
(That it could)
So stay far away from it
(Far away)

You say, until I don't want anymore
And I just, let it be there
There, on the floor
Was that your plan?
To get me down on my knees?
You told me, when this began
It had something to do with a disease

I don't know where that's been
(But I want it)
It could make me sick!
(I still want it)
I don't care where it's been!
(I still can't have it)
