Strange Seed

You used to keep it in your treasure chest

But you got rid of it just like the rest

You didn't lose it, no, you didn't lose it

I know you threw it away

And when I saw it going down the drain

I took a stitch and sewed it to my brain

I'm gonna use it, yeah I'm gonna use it

Then everybody will say

Chorus:

It's a strange strange seed, it's a strange strange seed

It's a strange strange seed that I'm sowing

It's still growing

I saw the millions going off the track

They didn't care enough to get it back

They'd just refuse, yeah they'd just refuse it

They'd say it's really passe

I planted it and then I watched it grow

And learned the things they didn't want to know

We're gonna use it, yeah we're gonna use it

And everybody will say

(Chorus)

You learned to hate the clutter so you threw away your toys

But your fear of open spaces made you long for some white noise

You never stop complaining; it's in everything you do

I'll be your father figure and I'll figure it out for you You hardly know enough to be afraid

And fear won't cancel the mistakes you made

We're gonna help you, yeah we're gonna help you

So you'll be better and then

It doesn't matter what you can't recall

You're never gonna have to think at all

We're gonna help you, Mumps are gonna help you

And we'll be happy again!

(Chorus)
