Where "Am" They Now?

“What I Am” by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean

Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box
Religion is the smile on a dog

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get too deep

What I am is what I am are you what you are or what?

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean

Philosophy is a walk on slippery rocks
Religion is a light in the fog

I'm not aware of too many things
I know what I know if you know what I mean

Choke me in the shallow water
Before I get to deep

What I am is what I am are you what you are or what?

Don't let me get too deep
Don't let me get too deep...

(The Imbiber says: She actually asks to be choked! It’s as though Edie Brickell KNEW her new model hippie bullshit was gonna drive everyone crazy, and decided to taunt the Music Gods. They exacted revenge, of course, as the New Bohemians quickly became Old News.)
