Like a Girl

Can't think a straight line beyond the hill
It seems like a mountain
Next to an ocean, behind a thrill
Almost in my reach

If there's a way
I could feel the face
Of intelligence
I'm a man
I would understand
What a good head says

You're no me
You're no me
You're no me

Can't see the forest for all the green
All gets in my way
Can't dig a desert without the need
For old religion

For holy grails
And a Jesus nail
Through the head
For all the pain
And misguided faith
My mind erased

Before I had time to waste my afternoon

Every 30 days, a light goes on
And brightens my backyard
A yellow dying sun, I bite my tongue
And swallow pride and blood
On some other plane
I have become affected, drawn and strange
I'm inclined to blame my mother for dressing me

Like a girl
Like a girl
Like a girl
Don't know, maybe that's kind of weird

Teenage breakdown without the will
Or without thinking
Taking low roads and coloured pills
Always searching

Maybe then
I would find a place
In this mess
It swells a vein
That the only things
That are keeping me awake

Are re-runs of the Mod Squad and cartoons

Every 30 days, a light goes on
And brightens my backyard
A yellow dying sun, I bite my tongue
And swallow pride and blood
On some other plane
I have become affected, drawn and strange
I'm inclined to blame my mother for dressing me

Like a girl
Like a girl
Like a girl
I don't know, maybe that's kind of weird
