Lyrics source: New Adventures In Hi-Fi DVD-Audio
I never thought of this as funny
It speaks another world to me
I wanna be your Easter bunny
I wanna be your Christmas tree.
I値l strip the world that you must live in
of all its godforsaken greed.
I値l ply the tar of your feathers.
I値l pluck the thorns out of your feet.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.
And if I choose your sanctuary.
I値l want to wash you with my hair.
I値l want to drink of sacred fountains
and find the riches hidden there.
I値l reap the lotus and the pyote.
I値l want to hear the caged-bird sing.
I値l want the secrets of the temple.
I値l want the finger with the ring.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.
And if you made me your religion.
I値l give all the room you need.
I値l be the drawing of your breath.
I値l be carpet you should weave.
I値l be the sky above the Ganges
I値l be the vast and stormy sea.
I値l be the lights that guide you inland.
I値l be the visions you will see.
Visions you will see.
You will see.
You will see.
You and me.
You and me.
You and me.
