shrink the world and wrap it,
that's where I shat it,
lost in all the traffic.

Rule by my thumb,
hear it deaf, say it dumb,
it leads me, leads me.

I wanted to try -
must have got too tired.
I wanted to try -
must have got too tired.
I wanted to want to be kind -
just had no time.
I wanted to try -
must have got too tired.

Now I've taken more than a reasonable quota,
not that I owe you,
not that I owe you.

Blame everyone,
we are sick to succumb
and it grieves me,
grieves me.

I wanted to try -
must have got too tired.
I wanted to try -
must have got too tired.
I wanted to want to be kind -
just had no time.
I wanted to try -
must have got too tired.

Don't make me drive,
shrink wrap the planet,
that's where I shat it,
lost in all the traffic.

Rule by thumb,
hear it deaf, say it dumb,
it leads me, leads me.

I wanted to try -
must have got too tired.
I wanted to want to be kind -
just had no time.
I wanted to try -

I wanted to try -
I wanted to want to be kind -
I wanted to try -
