Potted Plant

Do you live on a lonely island?

Do you live on a lonely hill? Are you perched in a pot in the dry dry air

On a lonely window sill?

Have you finally found that you're an only child?

Do you stare at the ground where the flowers grow wild?

Or have you taken root, don't plan to move,

Till the sunlight don't come round?

Daaaaaa da da da...

Do you think about the future?

Do you think about the past?

Does your time drag along like the pace of this song?

Do you dream of it draggin' fast?

Have you suddenly seen that you're a single seed?

Do you brothers and your sisters give you woe like weeds?

Or are you scared of the sun, don't plan to run,

Til the rain starts coming down?

Oh, down in the valley, in the soil of your soul is your family. (Fa-Family)

Don't dilly-dally, don't boil up a bowl, it's your family. (Fa-Family)

And when you think that you've thought about all that you got

Just remember that thinkin' that is thinkin' a thought,

And the voices in your head think you’re better off dead

But they're the only company you got, yeah, the only company you got!

Daaaaa da da da

Do you need somebody to want for?

Do you want somebody to need?

Or have you learned how to live out of lonesome love

Like a low-life I call me?

Perhaps you believe there is no need to grieve

You are all that you need to be alone and free

Or are you scared of the sun

Don’t plan to run

Til the fool's gold has been found?

And the sunlight don't come round?

And the rain keeps comin'

DOWN!?
