Commotion commotion, shaking my head
everybody’s trippin on a sour death bed
waving there fists at the crowd outside I could be mad
but I smile instead

and I picture myself in a rainforest
with a girl feeding me grapes
and we do what we do quickly
before the clouds rains escape

it’s all commotion commotion, shaking my head
I got some echoes in my ears and my eyes all red
everybody’s crazy over banks of bread
I could be mad, but I smile instead

and the queen on her thrown on the telephone
she calls me so quietly
and she whispers in a voice even she can’t hear
do you miss me?
but I don’t

it’s all commotion commotion, shaking my head
I got some echoes in my ears and my eyes all red
and I share the wine, I share the bread
I don’t know how you ended up in my bed
i t’s all commotion commotion shaking my head
I could be mad, but I smile instead

and the love lines cut as we walk on the line
I ain’t got no desire to set her flag on fire
I’ve been burned before and I’ve been wed
I could be mad

so don’t look back just to show me your tears
cause you’ll look back and laugh in a couple of years
I’m unstable and unable to face my fears
just caught in the commotion with you my dear
i t’s all commotion commotion, shaking my head

commotion commotion, shaking my head
I got some echoes in my ears and my eyes all red
and I sit on my couch here with legs of lead
I could be mad, but I smile instead
