Artist/Band: Damien Rice
Lyrics for Song: Coconut Skins
Lyrics for Album: Live At Fingerprints Warts & All [2007]



You can hold her hand

And show her how you cry

Explain to her your weakness

So she understands:

And then roll over and die!



You can brave decisions

Before you crumble up inside

Spend your time asking

Everyone else's permission:

And then run away and hide!



You can sit on chimneys

And put some fire up your ass!

No need to know

What you're doing or waiting for:

But if anyone should ask?

Tell them I've been licking coconut skins

And we've been hanging out!

Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins

And relieve us our doubt



You can hold her eggs

But your basket has a hole

You can lie between her legs

And go lookin' for:

Tell her you're searching for her soul!



You can wait for ages

And watch your compost turn to coal

But time is contagious:

Everybody's getting old.



You can sit on chimneys

And put some fire up your ass!

No need to know

What you're doing or looking for:

But if anyone should ask?

Tell them I've been cooking coconut skins

And we've been hanging out!

Tell them God just dropped by to forgive our sins

And relieve us our doubt.
