Ark of the Envious

The Verve Pipe · I've Suffered A Head Injury (EP) [1997]

I hear the driving of the nail

I hear the rain, I hear the hail

I hear the laughter of the

People dancing 'round him

As he forces his poor family to set sail



If you don't care, you will not cry

If you don't dare, you will not try

And now I'm drowning in the dark

With thoughts of building my own ark



I feel my baby's on the rise

Sits there examining her thighs

In he comes all drenching clean

And lays upon her hard and lean

She comes when he never even tries



If you don't care, you will not cry

If you don't dare, you will not try

And now I'm drowning in the dark

With thoughts of building my own ark



I'm sitting and wishing I were young

The best lines they'd flow right off my tongue

I'd believe that school is social banging in

And banging out and hanging in

And hanging out until were hung



If you don't care, you will not cry

If you don't dare, you will not try

And now I'm drowning in the dark

With thoughts of building my own ark



Of the envious

I am one
