I would have meant it if I'd said it But I didn't think to say it at the time And you never really said it With your mouth And only one time with your eyes And you would get it if you get it 'cause I know that you're the type Who gets it when they get it And they always get it right I hate that type Now I am sitting in your bed In your bedroom with my new homework machine I am playing with your cat With bits of string And I am waiting patiently You are out with a woman At exhibits about people like me I don't get it Because you don't like art You just buy and sell And you wouldn't give it up If you were getting it Well, so I brought this on myself I can't say I disagree You take that woman to exhibits About people like me I am at home With my watercolors Filling in my life With you, my life without I am at home with my watercolors While you are out I would have meant it if I'd said it But I didn't think to say it and I'm shy So I hid inside my tee shirt And I looked the other way When you walked by I gathered up my things And I dusted off my bike
And I found a quiet place Where I could sit and I could write And I wrote this And you would get it if you get it 'cause I know that you're the type Who gets it when they get it And they never have to write it on paper Not on paper But you never got it, never! Not to tell you the truth Because you show up to my shows And think I'm singing about you When I'm not I don't get it 'Cause you don't like art You just buy, buy, sell And you wouldn't give it up If you were getting it Well, so I brought this on myself I can't say I disagree You bring that woman to my concert And she tells you that she likes me I am at home With my watercolors Filling in my life With you, my life without I am at home with my watercolors While you are out All my friends and the issues that we face You want to stick us in a box Put us in our place Or maybe hang us on a wall Then leave me out to dry Was I a joke, was I a freak Or was I just too much alive I am at home With my watercolors Filling in my life With you, my life without I am at home with my watercolors Blotting it out
