Ethylene Lyrics - John Hiatt

I'm sitting on the toilet 

With my sunglasses on 

Wondering what you are up to 

This hotel's got bathroom telephones 

But I don't want to interrupt you 

You might be painting your nails 

With your hot curlers on 

Each one a different color 

Or listening to that Beach Boys sailing song 

Sloop John B or another 

CHORUS: 

Ethylene, my Ethylene 

My love for you is just obscene 

My deer you dress 

My fish you clean 

But you are nowhere to be seen 

My Ethylene

Well you could bag your limit 

With a bow and arrow 

Yeah you could skin a cougar in the dark 

Well I thought we were walking 

Down the straight and narrow 

How'd we ever drift so far apart 

I took my eighteen wheels 

On this road to nowhere 

And you disappeared right up in the hills 

Like smoke up a chimney 

Girl, I go there 

Yeah in my dreams I visit you still 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Photos 

Now some men will drive 

To the edges of nothing 

So they can take a peak at the great abyss 

Some men avoid love 

Like it was a plague or something 

So they can leave the seat down 

When they piss 

I miss that crocheted thing 

You kept on the Kleenex box 

I miss my feet 

On your cold linoleum floor 

Sippin hot coffee 

After makin love till daybreak 

Well Ethylene a fool would ask for more 

REPEAT CHORUS 

REPEAT CHORUS 

My Ethylene, my Ethylene, my Ethylene
