Tea

You're like coal to a miner
It's so hard to get you outta there, when you're so far down
When you're older and wiser, you can't believe the things you've done when you were young and dumb
It oughta to be fun to see if you can get away with it
Fun to see how long that you can stay with it

I don't wanna sound childish; I know it can be done
You can live how you wanna live; you can live with anyone
I don't want to sound crazy; I know it can be
We could have tea

You're like explosives to fire, never knowing when you might go off when you blow your top
Like a madman for hire, can't last long enough in town when the jobs come round
Ain't gonna wanna have to light the fuse and run away
Have to find a use for you someday

I don't want to sound childish; I know it can be done
You can live how you wanna live; you can live with anyone
I don't want to sound crazy; I know it can be
We could have tea

So you better get up on the wire
Better balance out that act, that's a fact
Before you get thrown in the fire
Thinking about the things you could have done, when you were quite young
Don't wanna be thinking about the things you could have done
Gonna need a talking to and you're the only one

I don't want to sound childish; I know it can be done
You can live how you wanna live; you can live with anyone
I don't want to sound crazy; I know it can be
We could have tea
