Coconut Skins Lyrics
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
Then run away and hide
You can sit on chimneys
With some fire up your ass
No need to know what you're doing or waiting for
But if ever 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
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala, lalalala
Lalala, lala, lala
Oh, you can hold her eggs
But your basket has a hole
You can lie between her legs and go looking for
Tell her you're searching for her soul
You can wait for ages
Watch your compost turn to coal
Time is contagious
Everybody's getting old
So you can sit on chimneys
With some fire up your ass
No need to know what you're doing or looking for
But if ever 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
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala, lalalala
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala, lalalala
Lalala, lala, lala
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
Then run away and hide
You can sit on chimneys
With some fire up your ass
No need to know what you're doing or waiting for
But if ever 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
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala, lalalala
Lalala, lala, lala
Oh, you can hold her eggs
But your basket has a hole
You can lie between her legs and go looking for
Tell her you're searching for her soul
You can wait for ages
Watch your compost turn to coal
Time is contagious
Everybody's getting old
So you can sit on chimneys
With some fire up your ass
No need to know what you're doing or looking for
But if ever 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
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala, lalalala
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala
Lalala, lala, lala, lalalala
Lalala, lala, lala
