Every single night, I endure the flight Of little wings of white flame Butterflies in my brain, these ideas of mine Percolate the mind, trickle down my spine Swarm the belly, swelling to a blaze That's where the pain comes in Like a second skeleton, trying to fit beneath the skin I can't fit the feelings in Oh, every single night's a light With my brain What'd I say to her? What'd I say to her? What does she think of me? That I'm not what I ought to be? That I'm what I turn out to be? It's got to be somebody else's fault I can't get caught If what I am is what I am Cause I does what I does Then brother get back Cause my breath's gonna bust open The rib is the shell And the heart is the yolk And I just made a meal for us For us both to choke on Every single night's a fight With my brain I just wanna be with him I just wanna be with him So I'm gonna try to be still now Gonna renounce the new little wild land If we had a double king size bed We could move in it And I'd soon forget That what I am is what I am Cause I does what I does And maybe I'd relax Let my breath just bust open My heart's made of parts Of all that's around me And that's why the devil just can't get around me Every single night's alright Every single night's a fight And every single fight's alright With my breath I just wanna be everything I just wanna be everything I just wanna be everything I just wanna be everything I just wanna be everything I just wanna be everything
