Dave Pirner - Tea lyrics

You're like coal to a miner It's so hard to get you outta there, when you're so far down When you're older and wiser, you can't believe the things you've done when you were young and dumb It oughta to be fun to see if you can get away with it Fun to see how long that you can stay with it I don't wanna sound childish; I know it can be done You can live how you wanna live; you can live with anyone I don't want to sound crazy; I know it can be We could have tea You're like explosives to fire, never knowing when you might go off when you blow your top Like a madman for hire, can't last long enough in town when the jobs come round Ain't gonna wanna have to light the fuse and run away Have to find a use for you someday I don't want to sound childish; I know it can be done You can live how you wanna live; you can live with anyone I don't want to sound crazy; I know it can be We could have tea So you better get up on the wire Better balance out that act, that's a fact Before you get thrown in the fire Thinking about the things you could have done, when you were quite young Don't wanna be thinking about the things you could have done Gonna need a talking to and you're the only one I don't want to sound childish; I know it can be done You can live how you wanna live; you can live with anyone I don't want to sound crazy; I know it can be We could have tea
