about

an earlier recording of this song appeared on the 1992 album 28 Days In The Yellow Room

lyrics

convince me thru and thru
and I might stay around
control your temper
and I might not leave town
conducting this experiment
is difficult as we
connect the dots that run for miles
between yourself and me
conceive a notion
under all that yellow hair
conflicting words just keep us
coming up for air
condemn my effort
and I won’t know what to say
confessing all I’ve done
would take about eight days
concrete solutions
just don’t fall out of the sky
confucius the philosopher
can’t offer his advice
congressional appeals
would never leave the floor
concluding statements from us
only leave me wanting more
