The Residents - Confused (By What I Felt Inside) lyrics

I was standing at the fireplace thinking of my own desire Which seemed to offer me no place to go When I heard a little giggle, sounding like some silly piglets Playing in the mud so deep and warm So I went and looked around And from the bathroom door I found Some sounds that had not come from here before So I shouted, "Come on out" And soon I saw them both look out Expressing fear and innocence at once They said that they were having fun With something that they found someone Had left behind a basket on the floor "Let me see," and so I took it With a snatch that left a crooked Smile across the corner of my mouth It was a smooth and shiny object With a purpose and a job I Recognized and was familiar with Looking up I saw one pair of eyes That somehow now were staring Straight into the secrets of my mind I knew at once it was the she thing To the they and the he thing Looking back at me and my desire Inflamed I reached and pulled her close But then at once I had them both Off balance and we fell upon the floor Into a pile of awkward bodies, with Arms and legs and elbows caught beneath Around and in between us all Hastily I helped them up And said that we should soon discuss And try to understand what they had found But it was too late to do it now But if I tell the truth, I was confused By what I felt inside
