everybody meet gem
he’s my siamese twin
but the trouble with gem
is i ain’t nothing like him
gem pays the bills
i’d rather spend
it’s against my will
that i’m connected to him

gemini, gemini
we don’t see eye to eye
both born in june, we sure wish it was july
gemini, gemini
we’ll be together til we die
guess we’ll keep on living
gemini

gem works all day
pulls a nine to five
i sing and play
it makes me feel alive
gem’s got the brains
i’ve got the heart
it’s driving me insane
that i can’t pull us apart

people think we’re just two peas in a pod
but we’re just putting on a façade
it’s not like i think gem’s such a bad guy
but i want to be known as just me, not gemini

i’ve had enough, enough

your daddy used to drink he used push you around
chase your little sisters, knock your mama down
he would stay out late driving out to the bar
you were just a little boy, oh, he made you wait in the car

it’s in your system now, it’s in your blood
it’s an addiction you can’t get enough
need intervention cause i’m starting to see
you’re starting to love that bottle way more than you love me
and i’ve had enough, enough

my mama couldn’t sleep, she worked hard to pay the bills
and one day she just gave up and give in to the sleeping pills
yeah, they closed her eyes – yes, they kept her eyes shut
i was just a little girl the day my mama never woke up

it’s in my system now, it’s in my blood
it’s an addiction i can’t get enough
need intervention cause i’m starting to see
these tiny little pills, oh, they’ve got a big hold on me
and i’ve had enough, enough

we started out wrong, we started out behind
but i will not pass this on to no child of mine
we will do it together, babe, or i will do it alone
there will be no addiction welcome in my home

it’s in our systems, i know, it’s in our blood
it’s an addiction but i’ve had enough
need intervention cause i’m starting to see
it’s time to break the cycle, oh, before it breaks me
break it with love, with love

you’re being a bee, you’re buzzing around
trying to stick your stinger in the lost and found
but i just keep sticking to swatting you down
cause i hate your sting more than i like your honey

you’re seeing the sea down to the ocean floor
blowing through it like an open door
i never saw the sea before
i think it’s dull and not that stunning

maybe if it was a bigger deal to me
then i could see what everybody sees
maybe if i ever got that feeling
i’d have better things to do than just
lay here staring at the ceiling

i’m playing a part, there’s a role i carry
i’m trying to be the virgin mary
but no one wants to sleep with her it’s too scary
she said “come on joseph, the whole world needs us”
and i wonder about joseph’s mindset
did he ever look to his wife with regret and say
“god damn, mary, my needs aren’t met?
my life would be better if it weren’t for jesus”

maybe if it was a bigger deal to me
then i could see what everybody sees
maybe if i ever put down my bible
i’d be better prepared for a bedroom revival

lay me down, straighten me out, i want to shout hallelujah
