Try Not To Stutter

(album: Mama)

I got a two ton wreck wrapped around my neck
A weekend bender, on bustend suspender
I´ve aged three years, cried a couple of tears
I told the cop i coul´nt remember
When i saw you
Where you were
Who you were with
I only wish that you both would phone
And try not to surrender
I told the judge i couldn´t remember

And as you are answering all of their questions
I have just got one suggestion

Try not to stutter

I was Jo Cool for an indian summer
A camp fire wag, a long distance runner
I had the big eyes following my every move
But icouldn´t let down or I´d lose
There was a snot nose kid trying to blow my cover
If they won´t buy that I´ll tell them another
Then two of the boys shot down my noised
The one with the van and his brother

They casually mentioned a couple of kids
An unspoken challenge, ok here

Try not to stutter

She was of to base to know the meaning of fear
With her cutt-offs swaying from here to there
The music´s her maker, the giver the taker
That´s what i hear
She smiled so fine, but not very friendly
With a studied wink, "Oh Baby you sned me!"

You´ve got a box full of trophies that´s what i hear

And as you try to fashion the perfetct time
There´s just one thing to keep in mind

Try not to stutter

(you can mumble, soft and low, mutter mutter so they think you know,
but there´s just one thing that has got to go)

Try not to stutter
