This is a note, to self situation |
|
A microphone test or a dense dictation |
|
Last time, they tried to fit me in a funny suit |
|
This time, they tried to fill my pocket full of loot |
|
Next time, they'll start to weep while I'm bailing |
|
Next time, I'll have to wait through their wailing |
|
Last time, they had to hang me like a poster |
|
This time, they rode me like a rollercoaster, |
|
Next time, they'll have to find me if they wanna try |
|
Next time, they'll have a long time to wonder why |
|
I always turn my head when they walk by |
|
I make believe my shoelace came untied |
|
Better yet act like something's in my eye |
|
Oh I gotta do what I don't want to |
|
High as the heaps that hunt and haunt you |
|
Pouring to paint your peeling won't you |
|
Pull a pal away when he's reeling don't you |
|
Look at last time for one minute |
|
I promise I'll try |
|
Look at this time will and win it |
|
With a gleaming in my eye |
|
Look at next time search and squint it |
|
Pull power from the sky |
|
Look at what the light does when we're in it |
|
So I wonder why, I stop to wonder why |
|
Last time, they spread me shallow like the gravel |
|
This time, they struck me twice like a gavel |
|
Order in the court! |
|
What court? is the question |
|
Give no retort, leave everybody guessing |
|
Last time, they bent me over like a rainbow |
|
This time, they step through me like a tango |
|
Next time, I'll abbreviate it so they won't lose their breath every time they say it |
|
Oh I'll keep a song inside their head and bloom |
|
Feed it sweet light, fertilize it with some tune |
|
If words are the wrist then music's the perfume |
|
Oh song from the mouth of friend or stranger |
|
Dangerous bird or bird of danger |
|
If you can keep up, well why won't you? |
|
Songs everywhere, so I sing it, don't you? |
|
Look at last time for one minute |
|
I'll promise I'll try |
|
Look at this time will and win it |
|
With a gleaming in my eye |
|
Look at next time search and squint it |
|
Pull power from the sky |
|
Look at what the light does when we're in it |
|
Now I wonder why, I stop to wonder why |
|
Last time, last time |
|
This time, this time |
|
Next time, next time |
|
I'll try, I'll try, I'll try |
