[Verse 1]
I am bigger than the sun, was a thought that passed
Through my brain so fledgling and dumb
Look to the sky, one hand over one eye
That little yellow ball underneath my thumb
[Verse 2]
And you may think to yourself, "Hey, this guy's kinda fun
Maybe he wants to go into business"
If you're looking for a free-thinking creative type
Not some Nazi, nihilist or Jehovah's witness
[Refrain]
Then I'm your man
'Cause when the world says, "No"
I say, "Yes, we can"
[Verse 3]
But I'm no better than I was was a thought that passed
Through my ass when I was sitting in the tub
They tell me lies like they're Cheney and George
And I'm some bored white boy, and it's 2001
[Verse 4]
Then you may think to yourself, "Hey, this ain't very fun
The late fees keep gathering interest"
If you're lookin' for a free-thinkin' creative type
Not some sore sight boy, can't afford the disinterest
[Refrain]
And then I'll go real deep
And then I'll get real strong
'Cause like the wind will weep
I will sing my song
[PreChorus]
Hey, pretty butterfly out in the morning dew
I think it's fair to say that I'm in love with you
And with a little bit of time and the right attitude
I think you and me, we could make it through
[Chorus]
I am no better than I was
I just can't handle it and something is in my blood
I dance like a pelican on drugs
There ain't no famine, so then why do I want your blood?
[Bridge]
Lovesick little butterfly
No wings for you to ride
And love is a tarantula
And I'm no romantic but
I play bad songs on summer nights
C'mon, baby, let the war end right
Here with the tarantulas and the pelicans
And the pigs and the sheep and the butterflies
[Chorus]
I am no better than I was
I just can't handle it and something is in my blood
I dance like a pelican on drugs
There ain't no famine, so then why do I want your blood?
[Chorus]
I am no better than I was
I just can't handle it and something is in my blood
I dance like a pelican on drugs
There ain't no famine, so then why do I want your blood?
