[Verse 1]
One time a thing occurred to me
What's real and what's for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home
[Chorus]
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
[Verse 2]
Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Flies in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep gettin' stuck here all the time
[Chorus]
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
[Bridge]
You'll see the look and you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies and you will
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Flies in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep gettin' stuck here all the time
[Chorus]
Isn't you, isn't me
Search for things that you can't see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline
