Something's Burning Lyrics

Don't count your chickens 'cuz they're never gonna hatch
You can't catch a monkey with a shotgun and a sack
'Cuz you're too dull, baby, you can't see the wood for the trees
'Cuz you're too slow, baby, you just couldn't get off your knees

Don't count your chickens 'cuz they're never gonna hatch
You can't cut your monkey with a shovel and a sack
'Cuz you're too dull, baby, you can't see the wood for the trees
'Cuz you're too slow, baby, you just couldn't get off your knees

I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Heading [Penny] for the thoughts behind the disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way

It doesn't pay to be sorry, you take me [disorientate me]
It doesn't cost to be someone
I am the vine
And you are the branches

Don't knock her young man, you don't know what he'll get done
You can't kick and old man, see what he's become
You are far too lazy
You stick to your pillow with ease
'Cuz you're much too lazy, you just couldn't get off your knees

I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Heading for the thoughts behind your disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way

It doesn't pay to be sorry, you take me
It doesn't cost to be someone
I am the vine
And you are the branches

Don't count your chickens 'cuz they're never gonna hatch
You can't cut your monkey with a shovel and a sack
'Cuz you're too dumb, baby, you can't see the wood for the trees
'Cuz you're too slow, baby, you just couldn't get off your knees

I can see the love and the hate in your eyes
Heading for the thoughts behind your disguise
What you gonna do and what you gonna say?
I'm not the only one believing there's an easier way
What'ya gonna do with the rest of your life
Heading for the thoughts behind your disguise...

I am the vine
And you are the branches
