Stamp My Hand

From "Forced to Breed in Captivity"

There's crackers and cheese in the game room
You say you could dig out some wine
I look like I could use a meal
But if I already ate that's fine fine fine fine

Youve been meaning to tell me
When I sleep Ive got this worried look
And you don't want to nag but that gives me wrinkles
I ought to relax, ought to relax
Ought to now and
Everything has worked out just like I planned
But something else is bringing me down
You go out, come back, and I'm still here lying around

So stamp my hand, I'll be back
I'm up and I'm down,
I bounce and bounce
It's what we don't say that defines us
And what we keep in that counts
And silence is my kissing cousin
So keep it in the family
If you understand me
You can suck out all the pressure points
But I'll never relax
Never relax
Never, oh yeah

Some day I'll fill up a phone booth
With all the fingernails Ive chewed off
Got a game face
But I'm breathing too fast cause
What ends in a hospice
Starts with a dry cough
Every time that the phone rings
It might be someone that I love is dead
And every day a headache that might be cancer
I ought to relax, ought to relax
Ought to now and
Everything has worked out just like I planned
But something else is bringing me down
You go out, come back, and I'm still here lying around

So stamp my hand, I'll be back
I'm up and I'm down,
I bounce and bounce
It's what we don't say that defines us
And what we keep in that counts
But sometimes I wear self-indulgence
Just a once in a while thing
Like some kind of style thing
The ocean sounds on the stereo
But I'll never relax
Never relax
Never, oh yeah
