lyrics
I don’t want to get clean
(I should do better)
I want to stay dirty
(You know what I mean)
I’ve been on the lean
(I should do better)
It ain’t too pretty
(You know what I mean)
I’m under the covers
(I should do better)
I’m hiding away
(You know what I mean)
Away from the others
(I should do better)
Shun the light of day
(You know what I mean)
Life can be hard
When you’re a dreamer
Following clues
And chasing up schemes
I been looking for something
Some kind of lead-in
Some random factor
We can believe in
Some follow the course
(Ha! Ha!)
Do just what they’re told
(You know what I mean)
Until they find out
(Ha! Ha!)
One day when they’re old
(You know what I mean)
They never did what
(Ha! Ha!)
They wanted to do
(You know what I mean)
Well don’t )let this be
(Ha! Ha!)
What happens to you
Life can be hard
When you’re a dreamer
Following clues
And chasing up schemes
I been looking for something
Some kind of lead-in
Some random factor
We can believe in
Random Factor One: Furniture Music
Random Factor Two: Moonlit Nights
Random Factor Three: Surrealist Poetry
Random Factor Four: Try As You Might
Life can be hard
When you’re a dreamer
Following clues
And chasing up schemes
I been looking for something
Some kind of lead-in
Some random factor
We can believe in
I should do better
You know what I mean
I should do better
You know what I mean
