"I'm Holding You" was regularly performed starting in the fall of 1994 on the Chocolate and Cheese tour. It was then performed with a full country arrangement on the 12 Golden Country Greats tour with the Shit Creek Boys, which can be heard in a 10/23/1996 recording on the album Live in Toronto Canada. Since then, Ween has returned to the song only occasionally.[1]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
I'm flyin' (flyin')
In a frame of my mind that time cannot erase
I'm seein' (seein')
The future, the past, as I lay the present to waste
I'm scopin' (scopin')
All these feelings I have and hoping for them to come true
And I'm holding something more precious than fine ore, baby, I'm holding you
I'm breathin' (breathin')
The fumes of the grid that rid my lobe of oxygen
I'm climbin' (climbin')
The walls to where good and evil make amends
I'm trippin' (trippin')
Rilin' and screamin', pukin', lookin' for someone like you
And I'm holding something more precious than fine ore, baby, I'm holding you
I'm flyin' (flyin')
In a frame of my mind that time cannot erase
I'm seein' (seein')
The future, the past, as I lay the present to waste
I'm scopin' (scopin')
All these feelings I have and hoping for them to come true
And I'm holding something more precious than fine ore, baby, I'm holding you
And I'm holding something more precious than fine ore, baby, I'm holding you
