Coconut Skins

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
 Or you can sit on chimneys
 Put some fire up your eyes
 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
 ♪
 Oh, you can hold her eggs
 But your basket has a hole
 Or 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
 The time is contagious
 Everybody's getting old
 So you can sit on chimneys
 Put some fire up your eyes
 No need to know
 What you're doing or looking for
 But if anyone should ask
 Then 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
