What Good Is Being Human Doing Me? (Song A Day #1293)
33What Good Being Human Doing Me?
Song A Day #1293
[verse]
E
There's something about raccoons
G#m
That really makes me scared
E G#m B
When they stare at me with eyes that seem to know
That pierce right through my flesh
into my heart and lay it bare
What do you see raccoon please tell me so
[pre chorus]
A
I can see it for myself
E
I need your animal help
G#m
To tell me what I'm missing
B B7
With my human eyes
A
Look into my soul
E
I'll freeze and lose control
F#
You'll eat all of my trash
B B7
And make me realize
[chorus]
E C#m
What good is being
B A
Human doing me
All my neuroses
Only ruin me
Sure I've got everything
A human could ask for
But then there's so much
I should be taken to task for
There's a raccoon on the roof
And she's trying to get inside
Mostly she wants food to feed her young
She peeks her head down
Through the window there's those eyes
Mystically aligned with the fading sun
Scratch scratch scratch
She's on the insides of my ribs
Like a miner sifts for gold
In the dirt so plain and fine
She's clawing her way out
Passing arteries and lungs
Without a proper map
no telling what she'll find
[chorus]
Now she has left
And so I feel relieved
Like after a long hard session of therapy
To be opened up
Examined piece by piece
The raccoon knows what she wants me to be
Just like her
Wild and wise and wicked
Nothing between the lines
Nothing hidden or held back
Somewhere along the way
Humans we're all sickened
Embarrassed by our shame
And aware of what we lack
