"Natural To Me"

The secret of my life cannot be found
it's buried up in heaven
six feet in a cloud
the doctors want to pull and drink my blood
they think they finally found
the cure to love
I guess my DNA was spelled all wrong
well maybe the assembly line is too long
but when they broke the mold, I was still inside
they didn't even wait for the wax to dry

I came into this world, no hesitation
I took a firm stand 'cause the seats were taken
it just seemed sort of natural to me

I'm naked in this dream that I always have
and no one seems to mind does that sound bad?
it probably doesn't mean what I think it does
in fact I can't remember just what that was
it's open to interpretation now
I think this thing is bigger than me, somehow
a universal truth inside us all
they sell it in a booth at the down-town mall

you can analyze love until you hate it
simplicity itself is complicated
it just seemed sort of natural to me

if you're dying to change your life: you will
you would die anyway, if you just sat still
you could live your life in love, or in ignorance
that I've been living to kiss you,
if only my love made sense

the way I got it figured it works out fine
to get from A to B in a nice, straight line
you told me that it's good my faith is strong,
except that everything I ever believed is wrong
we'll really never know, unless you're right
do you want to find the snake in the garden tonight
victory is sweet and it's low in fat
I never had a chance to tell you that

high self-esteem is over-rated
and inner peace is boring if you contemplate it
it just seemed sort of natural to me

everything is yours, unless you want it
everybody's got a theory on it
it just seemed sort of natural to me
