"Strange Design" lyrics

"Strange Design"
(Live at The Clifford Ball, August 16, 1996)

I needed
Less restraint before
I needed
To hit the lights and close the door
I'm fine, I'm fine, 'cause I'm

Dripping in this strange design
None is yours and far less mine
Hold the wheel, read the sign
Keep the tires off the line
Just relax you're doing fine
Swimming in this real thing
I call life, but can I bring
A few companions on this ride?

I'm feeling
My heart's not beating anymore
And I'm feeling
It's all right. this happened once before
I'm fine, I'm fine, 'cause I'm

Dripping in this strange design
None is yours and far less mine
Hold the wheel, read the sign
Keep the tires off the line
Just relax you're doing fine
Swimming in this real thing
I call life, but can I bring
A few companions on this ride?

Dripping in this strange design
None is yours and far less mine
Hold the wheel, read the sign
Keep the tires off the line
Just relax you're doing fine
Swimming in this real thing
I call life, but can I bring
A few companions on this ride?
