“<p>cradling the softest, warmest part of you in my hand<br/>
feels like a little baby bird fallen from the nest<br/>
i think that your body is something i understand<br/>
i think that i’m happy, i think that i’m blessed</p>
<p>i’ve got a lack of inhibition<br/>
i’ve got a loss of perspective<br/>
i’ve had a little bit to drink<br/>
and it’s making me think<br/>
that i can jump ship and swim<br/>
that the ocean will hold me<br/>
that there’s got to be more<br/>
than this boat i’m in</p>
<p>‘cuz they can call me crazy if i fail<br/>
all the chance that i need<br/>
is one-in-a-million<br/>
and they can call me brilliant<br/>
if i succeed<br/>
gravity is nothing to me, moving at the speed of sound<br/>
i’m just going to get my feet wet<br/>
until i drown</p>
<p>and i teeter between tired<br/>
and really, really tired<br/>
im wiped and im wired but i guess its just as well<br/>
because i built my own empire<br/>
out of car tires and chicken wire<br/>
and i’m queen of my own compost heap<br/>
and i’m getting used to the smell</p>
<p>and i’ve got a lack of information<br/>
but i got a little revelation<br/>
and i’m climbing up on the railing<br/>
trying not to look down<br/>
i’m going to do my best swan dive<br/>
in the shark-infested waters<br/>
i’m gonna pull out my tampon <br/>
and start splashing around</p>
<p>‘cuz i don’t care if they eat me alive<br/>
i’ve got better things to do than survive<br/>
i’ve got a memory of your warm skin in my hand<br/>
and i’ve got a vision of blue sky and dry land</p>
<p>i’m cradling the hardest, heaviest part of me in my hand<br/>
the ship is pitching and heaving, my limbs are bobbing and weaving<br/>
and i think this is what i understand<br/>
i just need a little vaccination for my far-away vacation<br/>
i’m going to go ahead and go boldly because a little bird told me<br/>
the jumping is easy, the falling is fun<br/>
up until you hit the sidewalk, shivering, stunned</p>
<p>and they can call me crazy if i fail<br/>
all the chance that i need<br/>
is one-in-a-million<br/>
and they can call me brilliant<br/>
if i succeed<br/>
gravity is nothing to me<br/>
moving at the speed of sound<br/>
i’m just gonna get my feet wet<br/>
until i drown…</p>”
