Intro:
    x4

                                   
I can remember sitting around at my house
                                 
And watching the smoke fill the living room
                                    
As you rested your feet on my coffee table
                             
And we watched something on TV
                 
Talked about the world
                                                  
But the lines were already drawn from the magazines
                     
And you called me a sponge
                                    
And you were just like diamond coated plastic
                                        
Just plastic, so invincible, so invincible
                                                              
But it's not like that at all, it's not like that anymore and I'm not
              
Like that anymore

                    
And I got to hold my breath
                                   
Because the puddle that got you is bound to get me too
                       
And I shouldn't hold my breath
                                 
Because a sponge like you needs a puddle to go to
                       
And I, I have breathing room
                           
Because the puddle in which you fell
                                   
My diamond coated plastic could repel
                       
Could repel, could repel

                                  
Diamond coated plastic could repel
       
Could repel
                                          
My diamond coated plastic could repel

                                                   
And I will repel you just like you're one of the others
                                                   
And I will expel you just like you're one of the others
                                      
Because you are, one of the others now
                                                  
It's kind of weird, I think, the way that people change
                                            
Think you know someone, but you don't, but you can't
                          
Soak 'em up, soak 'em come up
                          
Because I don't even care anymore
                        
Because you'll never be alone
                   
And I'll always be alone

                  
Because you're a sponge
                  
Because you're a sponge
                  
Because you're a sponge

Who would ever guess it?
                                      
Not me, not me, but I don't even know anymore
                               
And how am I to know anymore

                                          
And I, I'm out of breath, because I've been holding it for years
    
And holding back the tears
                       
Please let me catch my breath
                 
And soak up a puddle there
     
And scrambling for air
                 
I finally got my breath
           
And now at least I know for sure
                                                 
I'm a puddle stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper, stomper
                               
I am a puddle stomper,    stomper
              
I'm a puddle stomper
              
I'm a puddle stomper
              
I'm a puddle stomper
              
I'm a puddle stomper
              
And you're a sponge
              
And you're a sponge
              
And you're a sponge
              
And you're a sponge
                                  
And you're a sponge
                       
I'm a puddle stomper now
                   
I'm a puddle stomper
                   
I'm a puddle stomper
                   
And you're a sponge
             
And you're a
                       
I'm a puddle stomper
