Sailor and the Sea

I built my house out of straw
I learnt my lesson when I lost my walls
I drunk too much took this and that
I tried being thin but I'm stuck being fat
I wanted to be
What the sailor is to the sea
but I couldn't live with that

I want to be big and I want to be small
I want to Hamlet and a fly on the wall
So I buy all these clothese and I give them away
cause I want to be straight but I want to be gay
I thought I might find
the catalyst for making up my mind
but I couldn't live with that

I'm not my own coffin but I am the nail
I can't afford food but buy drugs in the mail
The music tells me that there's someone out there
But when the music stops I haven't got a chair
And meaning for me
should come from things that are totally free
but I can't live with that

so I'll change reality
add two to two and stop getting three
and learn to live
through the things I'm without and the people I'm with
Cause I can live with that
