So there's this guy named tobias And he staggers up and down my street And he makes us four white people nervous And the peace lady across the street She lies and says it's not her house And it ain't her house And he stumbles through my newly seeded lawn Up my front porch Through my front door He smells like a thousand vices But he looks like he's got more Maybe he's got more yeah Well he begins to point And to babble about the floor plan of my house Like a stranger eager to give you directions Because for some reason We all get proud when we've been somewhere before And we're half annoyed Just a little intrigued Mostly wishin that he would Hurry up and leave So we politely, ah we urge him towards the door Yeah we urge him towards the door But real politely, but definitely towards the door Politely though, but towards the door Then he stuttered somethin about How this used to be his house And oh lord i have tried I wanted to lay down my life But i am not enough No i, i cannot give enough oh no Oh lord maybe i lied I thought i could give everything inside of me But this is not enough Now i'm thinkin i'll just take tobias home for me For me yeah For me yeah Take tobias home for me Yeah but my friend mikey Ah he sizes him up and thinks he can take him If he has to Tobias doesn't have a gun But i am certain, i am certain We have all checked Oh and the church girl 'cross the street She comes and speaks in tongues And prays over him But he seems all too familiar with her routine Yean, oh with her routine Yeah but to her credit she wanted to love him Yeah to her credit she wanted to love him But then he stutters somethin about How this used to be his house And oh lord i have tried I wanted to lay down my life But i am not enough No i, i cannot give enough oh no Oh lord maybe i lied I thought i could give everything inside of me But this not enough Now i'm thinkin i'll just take tobias home for me For me yeah Take tobias home for me yeah For me yeah For me yeah I'll take tobias home for me So tobias he asked me for some change To catch the bus home But you know i know better And i tell him no, but i'll take you wherever you wanna go man And he says, really wherever i wanna go Be it somewhere far away from my crazy head, can you get me there or somewhere new, you're so happy with yourself because you live with the poor but you can leave anytime you want to So you're feelin a little guilty about maybe How this used to be his house And oh lord i have tried I wanted to lay down my life And i am not enough No i, i cannot, did not give enough to you And oh lord, maybe i have lied I thought i could give everything inside of me But this is not enough Now i'm thinkin I'll just take tobias home for me yeah For me yeah Take tobias home for me yeah For me yeah Take tobias home Cause maybe it'll change me All for me Wanna take you home Cause when it comes to lovin somebody for real, it's always a lot harder than i wanted it to be
