Slinky Thing

(album: Sunken Condos - 2012)

It was a October morning
Near the carousel
I met a light young beauty
And we talked there for a spell
We walked up by the Great Lawn
And my heart began to sing
A madman on a bench screams out

Hold on to that slinky thing
Hold on to that slinky thing

We went to a party
Everybody stood around
Thinking, hey, what's she doing
With a burned-out hippie clown
Young dudes were grinning
I can't say it didn't stink
Some punk says, Pops, you better

Hold on to that slinky thing
Hold on to that slinky thing

More light, more light, more light, more light, more light, more light
More light, more light, more light, more light, more light, more light

Today we were strolling
By the reptile cage
I'm thinking does she needs somebody
Who's closer to her own age
I try not to worry
What tomorrow may bring
I'm just gonna do my best to

Hold on to that slinky thing
Hold on to that slinky thing

More light, more light, more light, more light, more light, more light
More light, more light, more light, more light, more light, more light

Today we were strolling
By the reptile cage
I'm thinking does she needs somebody
Who's closer to her own age
I try not to worry
What tomorrow may bring
I'm just gonna do my best to

Hold on to that slinky thing
Hold on to that slinky thing

She smile
There's a sun in my sky
She laugh
That's my power supply
She stay with me
I know heaven is right here on earth
She go
I cry

She smile
There's a sun in my sky
She laugh
That's my power supply
She stay with me
I know heaven is right here on earth
She go
I cry
