Ethylene Lyrics by John Hiatt

Ethylene Lyrics

    I'm sitting on the toilet
    With my sunglasses on
    Wondering what you are up to
    This hotel's got bathroom telephones
    But i don't want to interrupt you
    You might be painting your nails
    With your hot curlers on
    Each one a different color
    Or listening to that beach boys sailing song
    Sloop john b or another

    Chorus:
    Ethylene, my ethylene
    My love for you is just obscene
    My deer you dress
    My fish you clean
    But you are nowhere to be seen
    My ethylene

    Well you could bag your limit
    With a bow and arrow
    Yeah you could skin a cougar in the dark
    Well i thought we were walking
    Down the straight and narrow
    How'd we ever drift so far apart

    I took my eighteen wheels
    On this road to nowhere
    And you disappeared right up in the hills
    Like smoke up a chimney
    Girl, i go there
    Yeah in my dreams i visit you still

    Chorus

    Now some men will drive
    To the edges of nothing
    So they can take a peak at the great abyss
    Some men avoid love
    Like it was a plague or something
    So they can leave the seat down
    When they piss

    I miss that crocheted thing
    You kept on the kleenex box
    I miss my feet
    On your cold linoleum floor
    Sippin hot coffee
    After makin love till daybreak
    Well ethylene a fool would ask for more

    Chorus twice

    My ethylene, my ethylene, my ethylene
