might as well take pinky strings
and throw them up to a cartoon king
maybe he could offer me a coin
what i'd do for a magic dime
overwork it a million times
and how the days jump ahead until you're ready
i would change what i can
i'm like a baby in deep water
a good day's a dreadful place
and bottom's a hundred years old
and living to roll out the end
what's the use of gum in a wrapper?
and what it life without the here and after
or another without a story to tell?
cause i'm better off on the shelf
with the dust and the things we forget
like that colorful pottery set
like the days you number for my heart
i would be your lucky star if i had one
i'll be in the hanky in your pocket
to steal one hour from the sun
i'm like a baby in deep water
a good day's a dreadful place
and bottom's a hundred years old
and living to roll out the end
i'm like a baby in deep water
a good day's a dreadful place
and bottom's a hundred years old
and living to roll out the end
and living to roll out the end
