lyrics

why's this jet coming straight at me?
gonna land on my head
looks that way alright
...ah man, it's just an extra big bright venus
teasing the sunrise,
seems like venus is always in my face these days
man, i gotta pull over

it was the last they were to see of each other
don't always know when you're saying goodbye
but at least he found the meaning of happiness
which is appreciating what you have
it's as simple as that.

...this picture wouldn't be as disturbing
if i wasn't in it
but why strap myself to that bed of nails?

don't know your heart till it breaks
don't lose what you give away first
for once it's gonna end at my convenience
cross that bridge just before i burn it
but first i'm gonna pull over for little while

yeah, venus in my face
i never gave any worse than i'll get
everyone's just looking for someone
to blow off the rest of the world with
but all the friction keeps
the glue from setting

perfect
what you wouldn't change (as if you could)
walking
shoes
are new on me
and it seems like venus is always in my face these days
man, i gotta pull over
