Grant Lee Buffalo - Two & Two Lyrics

You crawl up my vine and my soul's unwound
Clouds are miles down as the song unwinds
I'm conducting nothing anything at all
No I know I know

If I lose the floor I don't want no twist
Want to bite through this 'til I can hear no more
All the talkin' dissin' doggin'
Now I know I know I know

Not like two and two
Never seems to add up like I want it to
Not like two and two

Why can't I get this off lazy spent and spun
Off my chest for once 'cause I'm feeling lost
It's a waste of ink and paper
Laboring over anecdotes

In the center ring welter-weight tongue-tied
He was petrified before the song was sang
He fell back against the rope and
Dared to do the rope-a-dope

Not like two and two
Never seems to add up like I want it to
Not like two and two
It goes on and on on and on

I'm tired of saying I don't get it anymore I don't care
To hear you tell it tell me I can't tell you anything
Ah

[scraps of phrases - spoken]

Why the face the frown now and why so blue
Not like two and two when you're feeling down
It's a thing we both know so so
Can't we just explain away

Not like two and two
Never seems to add up like I want it to
Not like two and two
And on and on on and on
On and on on and on

On it goes on and on
It goes on and on
It goes on and on
Well it goes on and on
Goes on and on
Goes goes
It goes it goes
It goes on
Goes on and on
