Sea Lion
(专辑: A Healthy Distrust - 2005)
The
force of my love was strong. The
sea lion lay down long. Song in the
air. Why should singer care? When singer can be among song. Ma, Ma--look what I
did, Ma. Look what i
did to my hands, I
broke 'em. You gave me the
stone, gave me the
chisel, didn't say how to hold 'em. Didn't say to give away every piece of the
puzzle 'til I
was left with nothing. But I
took it upon myself to crush it up and distribute the
dust. Get in the
bus. Hop in the
van. Jump in the
water. Crawl to the
land. Build another castle out of sand. Break it down and then get into the
saddle again. I'm going city to city I'm already lost. Tell the
boss who is new in town. I'll ride this horse 'til it it bucks me off and I'm forced to shoot it down. I'll take him out for some gasoline. Trade this cow for some magic beans. Gonna make mom proud of the
deals that I
made, 'cause I'm just a
modern day Johnny Appleseed But I'm glad that I
never passed the
genes, and I
never put down the
axe. Piano man got a
checkered dance floor to grace and a
painful look on his face. 'Cause the
crowd is packed and the
louder they clap the
less he is able to make the
connection between what he sees when he hears certain notes and the
hurt that is shown in his facial expression. Ahhhhhh. I
don't need your "go ahead" to go ahead. No, I
know no one said it was gonna be easy, but sweet Jesus who wants to sleep with me? Way too many moves to learn. Not enough people to put 'em on. Look it, mom! No hands. I
built this suit of armor with wooden arms.
