Something To Be Passionate About
Known in Old Town School songwriting alumni circles as the "goats and opossums" song.
Lyrics:
Release your best yawn
Stretch out your ankles
Unite with your couch
Light up and burn
Light up and burn
Can you remember
The last time you were
So far past angry
That you were shaking
Was it a talk show?
Was it libido?
Tennessee Tuxedo?
I'd like to make you
Shake even stranger
What do I have to show you
It doesn't have to make you
Hate the world, but if it's not me
Maybe I can find your something to be
Passionate about
Passionate about
Let's try the TV
Something realistic
Like Charlie's Angels
I'll show you hunger
I'll show you hunger
I'll show you people
See the people hurting
Hurting themselves and
Everything in their path
Poison a bald eagle
Clip the wings off a seagull
Snoopy the beagle
Am I getting warmer?
Are you close to ignited?
What do I have to show you?
Select your wildest
Most unrealistic
I'll make it happen
Why bother dreaming
Why bother dreaming
If waking up is a letdown?
Everything we wanted
Sometimes I can't be
I can't believe how
Well I knew you
Well I old you
I suffer and behold you
Three verses later
Still no reaction
I can't get no satisfaction
What shall I bring you?
Sweet cherry blossoms?
Goats and opossums?
