Can't See The Woods (For The Trees)

You say you wanna jive 
But you don't know what to do
You've got two left feet 
And you haven't any shoes
You bend from the neck 
You bend from the knees
Rudimentary sex 
Nothing in between
You can't see the woods 
You can't find the trees
The fact that you're here 
Is becoming a disease
'Cause you don't
Understand
Why you can't see the woods
You can't find the trees
You can't find the woods
You can't see the trees
So you just crawl...

Treatment for this
Treatment for that
There isn't any cure
For you're ill-fitting hat
You're either too thin
Or you're much to fat
You think that you're a dog
When you'd rather be a cat
You think you're feeling cold
When it's much to hot
Got your mind in a sling
And your tongue tied in a knot
Understand
Why you can't see the woods
You can't find the trees
You can't find the woods
You can't see the trees
And you just don't
Understand

Time shudders by 
At the same old speed
You drag along behind 
But it's never time to leave
You can't see the woods 
You can't find the trees
You dribble and twitch
Your ears start to bleed
You babble in your mind
You stagger up to bed
You say you landed on your feet
You did it standing on your
Head
And still you don't
Understand
Why you can't see the woods
You can't find the trees
You can't find the woods
You can't see the trees
And you just don't
Understand
