Giving It Over

Giving It Over
Words by Steve Taylor
Music by Peter Furler

I was a teen flat-liner on the joy screen,
Dead in the water of life as we knew.
You offered me drink, I wanted more than a sip,
But I couldn't let go of the straws I was clinging to.

Giving it over, giving it over.
I was flat on my back. I'd slid 'til it hurt.
Giving it over, giving it over.
You put my head in the clouds and my feet in good dirt.
My head in the clouds and my feet in good...

Dirt Devils were crowding my head
With lies they spread.
They'd convinced me of what fools know isn't true.
Quick as an Outkast rhyme, You took me back in time,
Back to the first love I ever knew.

Giving it over, giving it over.
Got my broken heart healed and removed from its cast.
Giving it over, giving it over.
Yeah, I'm giving myself to a true love at last,
Giving myself to a true love at last

Oooh.
You don't know where the wind's gonna blow
And since you can't take it with, you better give it away before you go.
Yeah, I'm giving it over.

Greed is the word, it's a verb,
Wants to bind us all,
Bind us together like a platinum truss.
Giving it over, giving it over.
I'm putting my heart into treasures that don't rust.
Giving it over, giving it over.
I'm giving it all over to a face I can trust.

Ooh.
You don't know where the wind's gonna blow.
Ooh.
And since you can't take it with, you better give it away before you go.
Ooh.
Yeah, I'm giving it over.

S-s-s-so giving it over. Giving it over. Over.
Giving it, giving it, giving it over.
Give give give giving it over.

I'm giving it over. Giving it over. Over.
Giving it, giving it, giving it over.
Ah, give give give giving it over.

I'm giving it over. Giving it over. Over.
Giving it, giving it, giving it over.
Give give give giving it over.

Givng it, giving it, giving it, giving it.

Gving it over. Giving it over. Over.
Giving it, giving it, giving it over.
Give give give giving it over.

I'm giving it over. Giving it over. Over.
Giving it, giving it, giving it over.
Give give give giving it over.

Giving it over. Giving it over.

I'm giving it over. Giving it over. Over.
Giving it, giving it, giving it over.
Give give give giving it over.
