TestTubeBaby - I've Got You

I'm growing old
So many heavy loads
To carry
On the way
My hair is turning grey
I dye it blond
And wave my wand

But I don't need magic
I don't need god
I don't need the mysteries
Of the universe
To unfold

I don't need
Smoke and mirrors
I don't need
Faith or fear or

I don't need
To push any rocks
Up a hill
I don't need time
To kill

I don't need
Anything
I don't need you
But together we make
All the lies come true

This silly world
Of illness and seizures
And strokes and cancer
Of debts and puppies
And lawsuits and dancers

Of my people
And your people
Of America's Next Top Model
Of deep fried everything
And candy-filled people dreams

No, I don't need magic
I don't need god
I don't need the mysteries
Of the universe
To unfold

I don't need
Smoke and mirrors
I don't need
Faith or fear or

I don't need
To push any rocks
Up a hill
I don't need time
To kill

I don't need
Anything
Not even you
But together we make
All the lies come true

Our little world
On Austin Avenue
With the cars rushing by
And the ravine in view

And the renters in the basement
And the roommate down the hall
And Ariel and Oscar
Won't play fetch with a ball

And my job changing every day
While yours just stays the same
And the same and always the same
Always moving freight

But, I don't need magic
I don't need god
I don't need the mysteries
Of the universe
To unfold

I don't need
Smoke and mirrors
I don't need
Faith or fear or

I don't need
To push any rocks
Up a hill
I don't need time
To kill

I don't need
Anything
But I've got you
And together we make
All the lies come true
