about

Come for the proggy funk-hop, stay for the polyrhythmic psychedelic wig-out!

lyrics

First thing to say is I love you my friend
I cannot pretend to comprehend
these things that you're saying
do not well portend for you no

Not only if you're lonely you can hold me
do you wanna come and get it
bring it in a little bit and tell me what you're thinking
no don't stop drinking just maybe take it easy
it'll help with the feeling queasy

How much time have we lost not being ourselves
how much more pain before we start being ourselves

I wanna talk about it once you won't be disappointed
forget bout everybody else who came before me
I know just the way to make you get started
the beat match the rhythm match the beating of your heart
it shakes rattles and grooves better than booze
better than or equal to me

Not only if you're lonely you can hold me
do you wanna come and get it
bring it in a little bit and tell me what you're thinking
no don't stop drinking just maybe take it easy
it'll help with the feeling queasy

How much time have we lost not being ourselves
how much more pain before we start being ourselves

Just give it time
Just give it time

Just give it time
