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?
