School Boy Heart |
|
1996 |
|
I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye |
|
Stout sailor's legs and a license to fly |
|
I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes |
|
That walk up my longboard and hang off the nose |
|
I suppose |
|
The need to focus never arose |
|
So something like a swiss army knife |
|
That's my life |
|
Frankenstein had nothing on this body of mine |
|
The villagers still flockin' to see, to see me |
|
Breaking free, breaking free |
|
Cause I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye |
|
Stout sailor's legs and a license to fly |
|
I got a bartender's ear and beachcomber's style |
|
Piratical nerve and a Vaudevillian style |
|
I suspect I died in some cosmic shipwreck |
|
With all hands spread all over the deck |
|
What the heck |
|
Then some kind of obscene and unscrupulous mind |
|
Began to pick up what he could find |
|
Added ice, shook me twice, rolled the dice |
|
Now I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye |
|
A sailor's legs and a license to fly |
|
I got a native tongue from way down south |
|
It sits in the cheek of my gulf coastal mouth |
|
I got a school boy heart, a novelist eye |
|
Stout sailor's legs and a license to fly |
|
I came with nomad feet and some wandering toes |
|
That glide up my longboard and hang off the nose |
|
