Mainstream Songtext
von Lloyd Cole and the Commotions

When am I ever going to kick the curse?
I took my medication, I feel worse
Swimming is easy when you′re stuck in the middle of the Mississippi
All you have to do is crawl

Fifteen years, a big shot in a one horse town
Riding the elevator shafts with your hip flask and your sun bed tan
You were born stupid, mister, you were born cheap
All you have to do is crawl


When are you ever going to see sense?
I kick it in and you spit it right out again
Swimming is easy when you're headed for the deep
All you have to do is, all you have to do is crawl

One for the money, baby, two for the money
Get back in that elevator, Jack, eat up your milk and honey
Guess you were born lucky, mister, ain"t life sweet?
All you have to do is crawl

When are you ever going to see sense?
I kick it in and you just spit it right out again
Swimming is easy when you′re stuck in the middle of the Mississippi
All you have to do is, all you have to do is crawl
