High Too Loo Rye

(альбом: Freshman Year - 2005)

Mother once, I awoke as an old man
my name was Stanley Forbes and I threw tin cans at everyone who passed my porch
I don't know why I did but I didn't throw them at the kids so I was a good guy

I remember yelling hi
Too loo rye
It's the day before I die
So why
Too loo rye
Cause everybody is walking by? oh hi
Too loo rye
Its the day before I die
And I wanna sigh and cry
Alongside my brothers

Mother once I awoke, as a squirrel and I jumped from tree to tree to tree to tree, it was me at the acme of my career
I saved all I caught that year, which is a lot of acorns let me tell you
I was very resourceful and

I cried
Too loo rye
This is how it feels to fly so high
Too loo rye
This ain't nothing cash could buy oh hi
Too loo lyre
Tomorrow I could die
So I'm gonna climb the pines and have myself a time

Mother I dreamt I died last night
see I was a lightbulb, left on a little too long and I burned till I was dead with a hundred good ideas in my head but I forgot 'em all and they tried to throw me away
but hey when they grabbed a hold of me they all would burn their hands and see that I was still quite hot with thought and so a little thought they got that they should keep me as a kind of warmth you can't get from a stove or hearth
so I sought and thought and frought and fought but then cooled down and said

Oh hi
Too loo rye
To think I had a light inside when I try
Too loo rye
To remember what I wanted to find so sigh
Too loo rye
I thought that I had died

But I think tonight I've got it right, I'm Stanley and the squirrel the invisible light, I'm a lover liar, humble fire, I'm a little spider and a chicken on the wire climbing trying sighing crying laughing highfiving slowly dying

But I swear now that's alright, yeah I swear now that's alright, mother I'm alright
