How big is our love? How tough, how strong? How bright, the brightest star I’ve wished upon? How dark, the darkest dark before the dawn? How many invisible pistols have been pointed in this place? How many times was my risky business saved by heaven’s grace? How many miles of whiskers have I shaved from my face? I don’t know (x4) How big is our love? How tough, how strong? How bright, the brightest star I’ve wished upon? How dark, the darkest dark before the dawn? How will I know it when your love is gone? How many invisible pistols have been pointed at my face? How many times was my risky business saved by heaven’s grace? How many gallons of your tears have come and disappeared without a trace? I don’t know (x4) You never know you never know You never know what’s on the line When tempers are flyin’ You never know you never know You never know when it's the time For givin' up tryin' How many invisible pistols have been pointed at my face? How many times was my risky business saved by heaven’s grace? How many miles of whiskers have I shaved from my face? How many gallons of your tears have come and disappeared without a trace? I don't know.

I warned you baby I warned you baby I warned you baby I really am crazy Crazy just like I said From the bottom of my restless leg To the top of my crazy head To the top of my crazy head I’m mad about you I’m mad about you I’m mad about you I wanna scream and shout But I don’t wanna wake the dead I'm freakin myself out From the bottom of my restless leg To the top of my crazy head Two dogs fuckin by the back yard gate One named Church, one named State The governor's wife sent the parson's daughter out the back door with a bucket of water A bucket of rain like Noah's flood left two wet dogs fuckin in the mud The butcher came by, said i'll show you how He stopped them fuckin dogs and now State tugs at his chain while Church is confined But the best part of him never left her behind. Bought you a diamond ring And a silver spoon I warned you baby I’m crazy as a loon Crazy just like I said From the bottom of my restless leg To the top of my crazy head To the top of my crazy head… But I mean every word I said From the bottom of my restless heart Off the top of my crazy head

Tougher than a Bakelite platter Cooler than a minus degree Stubborn and sleek like a feline Cyborg up in a tree Man I wanna get it How am I gonna get it Down, down, down Get it down, get it down? A siren song Venus Fly Trap Texture like Martian wax Micro-fine grooves on the A-side Tiny soft spikes on the back Man I wanna pet it, How am I gonna get it Down, down, down Get it down, get it down? Someone call the fire department Get em out here on the lawn Just a little water pressure Fresh fruit falls to the ground Man I wanna get it How am I gonna get it Down, down, down Get it down, get it down? The fire chief and some new flame Are campin out in my back yard Says your kitty cash is garbage Says he’ll take a plastic card But I got no credit How am I gonna get it Down, down, down Get it down, get it down? Now sometimes it moves like a fire Or a lion runnin free Sometimes when it’s hungry I call it and it comes to me But I already fed it How am I gonna get it Down, down, down Get it down, get it down? I already fed it How am I gonna get it Down, down, down Get it down, get it down?
