I eat food to satisfy my hunger I drink water to quench my thirst I use my mouth and air to blow balloon up I prick with pin to watch it burst To make noise I use my breathe To unlock doors I use a key When I'm looking for something I use my eyes I use booze to unlock me I sweep so I can sleep I sweep so I can sleep Sweep sweep sweep sweep sweep I wear shoes so I can run As to avoid the broken glass I wear the pants because they suit me And to discourage the pinchin' of ass I'll tell a joke to make you laugh I'll close the door to have a cry They say that change and pain is a positive thing Have I changed since you died I sweep so I can sleep I sweep so I can sleep Sweep sweep sweep sweep sweep Don't ask me why I smoke I don't know But I drink to get drunk Don't ask me why I smoke I don't know But I drink to get drunk Don't ask me why I smoke I don't know But I drink to get drunk Don't ask me why I smoke I don't know But I drink to get drunk
