You crawl up my vine and my soul's unwound

Clouds are miles down as the song unwinds

I'm conducting nothing anything at all

No I know I know



If I lose the floor I don't want no twist

Want to bite through this 'til I can hear no more

All the talkin' dissin' doggin'

Now I know I know I know



Not like two and two

Never seems to add up like I want it to

Not like two and two



Why can't I get this off lazy spent and spun

Off my chest for once 'cause I'm feeling lost

It's a waste of ink and paper

Laboring over anecdotes



In the center ring welter-weight tongue-tied

He was petrified before the song was sang

He fell back against the rope and

Dared to do the rope-a-dope



Not like two and two

Never seems to add up like I want it to

Not like two and two

It goes on and on on and on



I'm tired of saying I don't get it anymore I don't care

To hear you tell it tell me I can't tell you anything

Ah



[Scraps of phrases - Spoken]



Why the face the frown now and why so blue

Not like two and two when you're feeling down

It's a thing we both know so so

Can't we just explain away



Not like two and two

Never seems to add up like I want it to

Not like two and two

And on and on on and on 

On and on on and on



On it goes on and on

It goes on and on

It goes on and on

Well it goes on and on

Goes on and on

Goes goes

It goes it goes

It goes on 

Goes on and on
