Song lyrics
Well, this has got to die
This has got to stop
This has got to lie down
With someone else on top

Well, you can keep me pinned
'Cause it's easier to tease
But you can't paint an elephant
Quite as good as she
And she may cry like a baby
And she may drive me crazy
'Cause I am lately, lonely..

So why'd you have to lie?
I take it I'm your crutch
The pillow in your pillow case
It's easier to touch
When you think you're safe
You fall upon your knees
But you're still within your picture
you still forget the breeze,
and she may rise if I sing you down
And she may wisely lay claim to the ground

'Cause I am lately, horny..
So why would she take me?
Horny

You can't NOT love this song. The emotion and power he expresses the lyrics with is enormous and one need only sit back and enjoy and let oneself get swept away by Rice's huge supply of notes. It does not get much better than this, in my opinion.
