When girls dressed in black they all look so lonely And contraceptives don't get used by the horny You can't find the key to the door in your building But are you still willing The responsibility becomes an afterthought When one remembers the things that they should've bought There's no pretending that you forgot Must everything in life have political ramifications Even taking kids on vacation or having a simple operation But my friend billy told me that sometimes It takes a grown man a long time to learn Just what it takes a child a night to learn And my son proved his words
(chorus) Water pistol man full of ammunition Squirtin' at fires on a worldwide mission But did you ever think to stop to squirt The flowers in your own backyard
For all my faux pa's I never said excuse me Was the simplest things that always confused me I never stopped I never looked both ways Must it always a tug of love between friends and work Hope to learn the meaning of the word jerk Before it happens to a rope round my neck Let's build a bigger telescope So that we can see things more up close Farther away from where we really are I was up the whole night before Reading books about places I'll probably never go And those aren't good things to know about
(chorus)
When I feel with my heart, I know in my mind I should say with my lips But don't does that make you feel upset? I should know that the power of one man seems like a small squirt When he aims at the flames of the whole earth But the fire starts at home...
