Descended from Emerson, into this life
Falling, falling, falling into my seventh life
My father rode a motorcycle naked in the rain
Mother, a flower girl, blonde and 18
Three long days in the Colorado jail
Seven months pregnant, on the western trail
She met El in San Francisco, so it goes
(She met El in San Francisco, yeah so it goes)
Elwyn was out of his head, speed up his nose
Mother met a second man, by chance
She remembered from a hometown high school dance
The night they got to fighting, man's arms, they let me fall
My head hit the concrete floor, I didn't move at all
My mom hysterical, thinking I was dead
She ran into the street, scared out of her head
I watched the stars in the heavens for a while
Then I came around for good, but not with a smile
Moved home to the valley where the hippies conspire
Even my grandma loved to get high
My father dosed liquid LSD
Fried his mind for years to come, look what it's done to me
The breakup ensued, I held my baby brother's hand
I held my baby brother's hand
The nights that followed, footsteps could be heard
(The nights that followed in the house, footsteps could be heard)
No one on the second floor ‘cept spirits I have learned
Mom and her best friend said, "It's time to go"
To Aroyo Hondo, New Mexico
Adobe huts, I recall every gathering adobe
I was hungry in the desert; I wanted to go home
Morning I awoke; I was all alone
(But I walked outside I realized)
No one but a fucking geek to share the dusty home
(No one was there; I thought I would die)
As I walked outside I realized
(Time stood still; I watched the dome)
No one was there; I thought I would die
(Then the bug came back, tears in my throat)
Time stood still as I watched the goat
(Next thing I knew I was in public school)
The nurse of a new bug came back; tears in my Since I was a baby maybe two or three
Ain't nothin' ever really bothered me
Some poeple rattle at the smallest thing
I thought I could handle anything
But I'm
All wound up nothin' I can do
I get all wound up
Just from talkin' to you
I used to believe I was Immune to love
But look at me now I'm all wound up
I never wondered what it's all about
Never saw a thing I couldn't do without
My feet are used to bein' on the ground
These days I wanna kick 'em around
Cause I'm
All wound up nothin' I can do
I get all wound up
Just from talkin' to you
I used to believe I was Immune to love
But look at me now I'm all wound up
All wound up
All wound up
All wound up
Fame and fortune I can take or leave
One touch from you and
I can barely breathe
Hung out and dryin' for the world to see
Well I've got you all over me and I'm
All wound up nothin' I can do
I get all wound up
Just from talkin' to you
I used to believe I was Immune to love
But look at me now I'm all wound up
I can't get over how I'm all wound up
