lyrics

No one wants to be the one
To break it to you that you’re not much fun
No one wants to be alone
When nobody’s coming home

Over there by the tree
There’s a couple of spades will you dig with me
I said who's to say what we’re digging for
Now you can’t dig it anymore

And I heard you shout
Because of an itty bitty mouse
And sometimes you step on ants for fun

Every time you come around
The whole world is shaking your ground

I don’t know, I haven’t seen
I thought you’d rather read a book than watch a TV screen
You say you hate wasting time
Your habits and your heart don’t rhyme

I cain’t predict the apocalypse
So there’s no need to lose it getting scared to bits
What’s to do is put on a smile
And try to make your time worth while

But you fall apart
When your daddy won’t buy a jaguar
When that’s the last thing anybody needs

Every time you come around
The whole world is shaking your ground

And every time the ground shakes
Life to you is a heartache
Don’t pray against the rain
Cause your fountains will soon be drained

No one wants to be the one
To break it to you that you’re not much fun
No one wants to be alone
When nobody’s coming home

And I heard you shout
Because of an itty bitty mouse
And sometimes you step on ants for fun

Every time you come around
The whole world is shaking your ground
