I don't want to seem like a crazy person to you.
I'm not a monster and I'm not that cruel, but you -
got something in your eyes,
like a fire.
It's that kind of fire I'd
want to put out.
And I'm not a violent person, I'm not strange.
Okay, maybe I am queer but I am not
deranged.
Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
I don't want to seem like a sad person for you.
I do my best to hide it but you, you know it's true -
and you've,
got something in your hair -
I don't doubt, I'd come to you in the night with scissors and I'd,
I'd cut it out. Oh...
Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
I don't want to seem like I’ve got a complex,
I've got some skeletons, so do you, and they might be next.
Cause you put something in my head. It just won't leave.
We need to cleanse our souls and then, maybe grieve.
And you've got this nice cottage there, by the water...
I hate you, but what if I falter?
Say, ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
I don’t know the ways, I count the days until I see you - ou - ou!
I don’t know the ways, count the days til I see you.
Hey, I want to tell you something, and your parents might be mad.
There's a blaze in your basement, and I don't know how it got so BAD!
This is not gasoline. This is just my sweat.
My body strains out blood and oil;
I don't believe you two have met.
Say, ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
I don’t know the ways, I count the days until I see you - ou - ou!
I don’t know the ways, count the days til I see you.
I never liked your family cottage anyway, ok?
