You say you rode a rocket ship
you say you been to war
you told me 'bout the time you bought
some bad meat at the store
you never seem to say a lot
but you're talking all the time
and I just can't make sense of it
but I'm trying to be kind

What is going through your head
and why won't you slow down
'cause my head is reeling here
from all this spinnin' round
you told me that you never lie
and that I do believe
but sometimes I can't understand
why you refuse to see
what you're doin', baby

You told me that we had to talk
something major had gone down
you said that it was life or death
and you needed me around
well, as it turned out, life or death
is all a state of mind
'cause there was nothing wrong with you
that I could really find

When ya gonna realize
that no one wants to hear
the stories of your Army days
or how you like your beer
I'm tryin' hard to be a friend
but I can't take no more
'cause every single word you say
shoves me closer to that door
and I'm halfway out that door, baby
'cause it ain't nothin'
