[Verse 1] Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer, cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. And you're stuck in your own skin. And everybody's doing just what they're wired to do. Tending their own garden... that's mostly weeds. And ignoring the jungle... right next door. [Chorus] **And so it goes...** **The heart is a small and hungry thing.** **It chirps for its supper, it shivers, it sings.** **It looks in the mirror and misses the door.** **We could be better... but we're not... not anymore.** [Verse 2] There's a terrible noise coming from your house. But my sink is leaking, and my head hurts. And the paper's due tomorrow. And I meant to call, I really did. But the moment passed... like a ship in the night. Two ships, actually... in different seas. Waving at shadows. [Chorus] **And so it goes...** **The heart is a small and hungry thing.** **It chirps for its supper, it shivers, it sings.** **It looks in the mirror and misses the door.** **We could be better... but we're not... not anymore.** [Bridge] God damn it, you've got to be kind. That's what he wrote. A good thing to write. A hard, hard, hard thing to do. When your own heart's so loud... it's all you hear. [Outro] So it goes... Just... goes...
