Story Behind the Song
Once upon a time there was a girl on a flaming pie....and she said, "shouldn't we be feeding the thing around now?"
Lyrics
Don't Break A Sweat
I'm a good sport about the whole thing
With a wait and see what tomorrow brings
What the hell's it matter anymore?
I try to keep that feeling at bay at the door
And I can be, yeah I can be anyone, anyone else but me
Multi-colored whiskers on the hair of the dog that bit me, bit me
They'd have me inside a straightjacket but they never found one that fit me
Everything I told you would make sense
If you'd only come to my defense
I put it there, SOS to you
Haven't you been looking for me?
'Cause I know that I've been looking for you
Everything you touch
All you see
Everything and more, I'll give it to you
Standing in-between, what's your shade of green?
As you like it, I will paint it for you
I'm a perfect idiot
But I'm tired of being a perfect stranger
Go crawl back inside of your lunch-box if you can't handle no more danger
Why the hell don't we just pitch a tent right the hell here in present tense?
So what is it you wanted me to do?
Everywhere I go
There's something I know
Wish I could remember what it could be
Hands are at my side
You can see the bride
What the hell, it's A-OK with me
What's your shade of blue?
Any song I knew?
Watching the clock as it ticks and it tock, tock, talk, talk, talks such a good game
So what?
I walk, walk, walk, walk, walked this far 'cause I didn't have bus-fare
Will you ever come and break the spell?
Should I just resign myself to Hell?
Hey, hey,
Don't break a sweat for me
Because I've been a loser all of my life
And I'm not the kind of girl that you'd ever want for a wife
Look at how she works those leggo-blocks
Open up your mouth if not the locks
With a little help from my friends
I'll make it through with you
Tell me what you see
Is it even me?
Or even you?
Everywhere we go, people seem to know,
It shows right through
One step from believing
One step from deciding I'm out of my mind
Don't break, don't break a sweat
Ohhhhh
