take advice from strangers
take advice from rock songs
visit starlit mangers
but don't stray from your flock long
knowing when to say when helps

cultivate a pastime
slather it with bug spray
if what happened last time
nags at you then shrug, hey
keep your hands to your self-help, help

talk about my feelings
oh, get it over with

strike off of your schedule
moments of reflection
mantra-like assertions
do just fine as stand-ins
laugh all the way to the bank

share my inner secrets
oh, get it over with
skating around all your real fears
gets so exhausting and I'm all ears

liquidate your option
ask to use the men's room
go up for adoption
change your name to Sven, soon
take a long walk off a short pier

take advice from strangers
oh, take advice from rock songs
all those long walks off of short piers
get so exhausting and I'm still here
