lyrics

When people say “motivated” I'm never sure what they mean.

It sounds like a seed took root
somewhere inside their head
and grows there whether or not
they want it to.
It sounds like a spinning wheel's
connected to your legs,
your arms, your eyes, your tongue
and all the rest of you.

Whenever I say “driven” I'm never sure who is driving.

Sounds like my heart's been keeping
secrets from you and me
about just who she sees
in her spare time.
Or my mind is of two minds
and those minds they have two more
and no one can exactly tell
who any of them are working for.

When people say “desire” I'm never sure what they mean.

It seems like I was born
speaking a foreign tongue.
It seems like I received
a modest education.
It seems like things work out
for the best except they don't.
It seems like I didn't get
what I wanted for a present.
It seems like something's missing
and something's always missing.
It seems like everyone else
is somewhere having fun.
And it seems like I was born
speaking a foreign tongue.
