Cousin Kevin
The Who cover.
Flaming Lips Version
We're on our own, cousin
All alone, cousin
Let's think of a game to play
Now the grownups have all gone away
You won't be much fun
Being blind, deaf, and dumb
But I've no one to play with today
D'you know how to play hide and seek?
To find me it would take you a week
But tied to a chair you won't go anywhere
There's a lot I can do with a freak
How would you feel if I turned on the bath
Ducked your head under and started to laugh
Maybe a cigarette burn on your arm
Would change your expression to one of alarm
We're on our own, cousin
All alone, cousin
Let's think of a game to play
Now the grownups have all gone away
You won't be much fun
Being blind, deaf, and dumb
But I've no one to play with today
To find me it would take you a week
But tied to a chair you won't go anywhere
There's a lot I can do with a freak
Ducked your head under and started to laugh
Maybe a cigarette burn on your arm
Would change your expression to one of alarm
