Coconut Skins

Intro:                           You can hold her hand    and show her how you cry        Explain to her your weakness so she understands   And then roll over and die   You can brave decisions    Before you crumble up inside            Spend your time asking everyone else’s permission   And then run away and hide   You can sit on chimneys    And put some fire up your ass          No need to know  what you’re doing or waiting for   But if anyone should ask?    Tell them I’ve been licking coconut skins    and we’ve been hanging out     Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins    And relieve us our doubt       Bridge:                                   Same chord patternâ?¦   You can hold her eggs    But your basket has a hole    You can lie between her legs    And go lookin’ for:    Tell her you’re searching for her soul!    You can wait for ages    And watch your compost turn to coal    But time is contagious:    Everybody’s getting old.    You can sit on chimneys    And put some fire up your ass!    No need to know    What you’re doing or looking for:    But if anyone should ask?    Tell them I’ve been cooking coconut skins    And we’ve been hanging out!    Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins    And relieve us our doubt.
