Back On My Feet

(album: No Water, No Moon - 2011)

When I wake up bright and early
And today feels like a Sunday
I look around for any reason to fall fall

It's a start
No better feeling
It's that rumbly in my tumbly
All those butterflies are soon headed north north

Back on my feet
Hello world
You look like someone I'd like to meet
Please explain to me the X's and O's
It's complicated but you already know

There's a freefall in the market
Hello now ask me if I care
Built this house with bricks and bottlecaps
Tear it down now if you dare dare

Throw a billion in the ocean
See the world turn belly up
Is it time to play the arbiter
Oh whatever is the rush rush

Back on my feet
Just the expert we'd all like to meet
Please explain through simple pictures and song
I'd like to ask a question but you might think me dumb

Back on my feet
Walk on water
Turn bread into stone
I've given up on the illusion of me
I plead for mercy sire
How could this be
Relax take a seat
Back on my feet

Oh take me home

B-B-B-Back on my feet
My fellow countryman
There's someone I'd like y'all to meet
He's agreed to all conditions and rules
A bit of a nag
Hell but what can we do

Back on my feet
Hello world
You look like someone I'd like to meet
Am I forgiven for that time in Belize

Pains me to see you A'gain
Damn X's and O's
The places we'll go
God only knows
