ClarenceI'd like to tell you that my sky's not blue, it's violent rain

And in my world, the people on the street don't know my name


In my world, I'm seven feet tall
And the boys always call, and the girls do too
Because in my world, I'm constantly, constantly havin' a breakthrough (Hmm)
Or a breakdown, or a blackout
Would you make out with me underneath the shelter of the balcony?

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone
I just need everyone and then some
I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone
I just need everyone and then some

[Verse 2]
Wish I could see what it's like to be the blood in my veins
Do the insides of all of my fingers still look the same?
And can you feel it too when I am touchin' you?
And when my hair stands on ends, it's saluting you
The blush in your cheeks says that you bleed like me
And the 808 beat sends your heart to your feet
Left my shoes in the street so you'd carry me
Through a breakdown
Through a breakdown or a blackout
Would you make out with me on the floor of the mezzanine?

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone
I just need everyone and then some
I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone
I just need everyone and then some

[Bridge]
My face is full of spiderwebs, all tender, yellow, blue
And still with one eye open, well, all I see is you
I left my daydreams at the gate because I just can't take 'em too
Know my heart still has a suitcase, but I still can't take it through

[Chorus]
I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone
I just need everyone and then some
I don't need anyone (I don't need anyone)
I don't need anyone (I don't need anyone)
I just need everyone and then some (I just need everyone and then some)

[Outro]
I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone
I just need everyone and then some
Oh-mmm, oh-mmm (Yep)

"O My Heart"

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water


Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks
And it bakes in the bad sun

Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter


Oh my heart, it's a rocking great boulder and stuck in the gutter

And I throw my heart back to the ocean


But it don't go far, it come back floating
And I watch it wash up with the dead fish

But it ain't quite dead, it just is lifeless

Oh my heart, it's a house in tornado


Oh my heart, it's a house in the sky in the eye of tornado
Oh my heart, it's a roof in El Niño
Oh my heart, it's a roof made of straw in the jaw of El Niño

And I pour my heart a new foundation


But it don't set hard, it just stays shaking
And I scratch my name, I scratch my name in
But it don't set hard, it gets mixed back in

Bum bum bum, bum bum bum, bum bum bum, bum

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water


Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter

Oh my heart, it's the black in a rainbow


Oh my heart, it's so damn so cold, so damn cold

And I throw my heart into the fire


'Cos I want to set my heart on fire
And I watch it try befriending embers
But the ice don't melt in mid-December

Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water


Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks
And it bakes in the bad sun
