For millions of years, in millions of homes A man loved a woman, a child it was born It learned how to hurt and it learned how to cry Like humans do I'm breathing in I'm breathing out So slip inside this funking house Dishes in the sink The tv's in repair Don't look at the floor Don't go up the stairs I'm achin' I'm shakin' I'm breakin' Like humans do I work and I sleep and I dance and I'm dead I'm eatin, I'm laughin and I'm lovin myself I never watch tv except when I'm stoned Like humans do I'm breathing in I'm breathing out So slip inside this funking house Dishes in the sink The tv's in repair Don't look at the floor Don't go up the stairs I'm achin' I'm shakin' I'm breakin' Like humans do I'm breathing in I'm breathing out So slip inside this funking house Wiggle while you work Anybody can The rain is pourin in on a woman and a man I'm achin' I'm shakin' I'm breakin' Like humans do I'm breathing in I'm breathing out
