lyrics

If I could shed my skin for you like cicadas in the afternoon,
Would it change your mind about me? But never mind, I can’t even change my own tune.

If I could star in a trapeze act like some flea acrobats,
Would it scratch a memory or two, would it make you want to jump back?

Maybe all I need is a little more dexterity,
And the God given ability to crawl and creep.

If I was to break down and beg, get down on all six legs,
Would your porch light come on for me or would you put your foot down naturally?

Maybe all I need is a little more dexterity,
And the God given ability to crawl and….

….Creep back to you in the dark.
With the beetles in deep sleep.
Let those bed bugs bark.
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Maybe all I need is a little more dexterity,
And the God given ability to crawl and creep.

Maybe all I need is the God given ability,
A little more dexterity to crawl and creep.
