Go On Yerself

There's a simple explanation
For those who refuse to win
There's a carnival collector
Who just won't let me in
There's a silence beneath her streetlight
There's a whisper in the wind

You took me in
You took me in
You took me in
Don't know where I've been

There's a carpenter in your classroom
He's been screaming at the scribe
There's an undeserving teacher
Who no one knew had died
With a poet, his friend was a painter
Yet a hero who was left unsung

They took me in
They took me in
They took me in
Don't know where I've been

Half of the time you know you ask it why
You're thinking of things that don't feel quite right
Go on yourself
Go on yourself
Half of the nights you know I sleep ok
Still thinking of things I don't know quite what to say
But go on yourself
Go on yourself

I never claimed to see the future
Well I've barely had a past
So we went to see a psychic
She said that nothing really lasts
So I've stopped poking at them coals now
I'm off to start a fire

She took me in
She took me in
She took me in
Don't know where I've been

Half of the time you know you ask it why
You're thinking of things that don't feel quite right
So go on yourself
Go on yourself
Half of the nights you know I sleep ok
Still thinking of things I don't know quite what to say
But go on yourself
Go on yourself
Half of the time you know you ask it why
You're thinking of things that don't think quite right
So go on yourself
Go on yourself
Half of the nights you know I sleep ok
Still thinking of things I don't know quite what to say
Go on yourself
Go on yourself
