Tragically Hip - Put It Off

I wrote unfriendly things,
Truly cruel,
On the day that you were born
To prove that words
Cannot touch beauty
But i was torn
I put it off, i put it off,
I put it off again

I made degenerate art
For the religious right
On the day that you were born
I had passion to experiment
But i was torn
I put it off, i put it off,
I put it off again

I played love tara
By eric's trip
On the day that you were born
I had to find the cuteness
In the unadorned
But i was torn
I put it off, i put it off,
I put it off again
I put it on, i put it on,
I put it on again
