Lyrics

So what are you gonna do about me?
I been hangin' 'round a while
Trading books and knowing glances
I tought I'd stick around, but it really ain't my style

So this ain't heaven on earth
Looks like we'll have to wait
But we are standing at the gate

I took a look inside your attic
And secret shelves and hidden rooms
It didn't scare me when I saw it
Your hidden attic is no temple of doom

And this ain't heaven on earth
Looks like we'll have to wait
But, we are standing at the gate

So, what are you goinmg to do about me?
Put me on the secret shelf?
I wanna change myself around
You know I would do it if I thought it would help
