Jeffrey Lewis You Don't Have To Be A Scientist To Do Experiments On Your Own Heart
You don't have to be a scientist to do experiments
You don't have to be a scientist to do experiments
You don't have to be a scientist to do experiments on
your own heart
I had no place to put myself but I had lots of time
I had no place to put myself but I had lots of time
I had no place to put myself but I had lots of time so
I threw out some past and made way for more future
Now I'm standing on the scene between my memories and
dreams
Balanced on the seam between my memories and dreams
Floating down the stream between my memories and dreams
and I see a better person waiting his turn to be me
And you don't have to be a scientist to do experiments
You don't have to be a scientist to do experiments
You don't have to be a scientist to do experiments on
your own heart
Now I'm running down the runway inbetween gigantic
numbers
I'm running down the runway inbetween gigantic numbers
I'm running down the runway in between gigantic numbers
with my knapsack and a zero for halo
And my halo's got a hole in it so it don't keep me dry
My halo's got a hole in it so it don't keep me dry
My halo's got a hole in it so it don't keep me dry
But it's okay cause my brain is my heart's umbrella
And you don't have to be a scientist to do experiments
You don't have to be a scientist to do experiments
You don't have to be a scientist to do experiments on
your own heart
I had a girl I had to leave I saw her face upon my
sleeve
I had a girl I had to leave I saw her face upon my
sleeve
I had a girl I had to leave I saw her face upon my
sleeve it kept talking so I put it in the laundry
And as it spun and spun it tried to ask me what I'd
done
And as it spun and spun it tried to ask me what I'd
done
And as it spun and spun it tried to ask me what I'd
done but I was gone on down the road out to Elaine's
'Cos you think patience is a virtue and what you don't
know can't hurt you
And that events can change and shape us more than we
can change ourselves
And that conscious attempt at growth is stupid and I
should just relax and be myself and even think it's
arrogant to try
But you don't have to be a scientist to do experiments
You don't have to be a scientist to do experiments
You don't have to be a scientist to do experiments on
your own heart
