Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Mama, Won't You Keep Them Castles In The Air And B lyrics

rate me

Invisible like all the reasons

Dark and cold like all the seasons

Things are not as you would have them

I'm no man and you're no woman

I guess I hope to see you sometime

Though our paths will never intertwine again

I hope you notice

I'm no hare and you're no tortoise

And I'm touched by the same sad feeling of dread

Just to know that you can't wait to see me dead

An idea in your head and a compass in your hand

On a mission to a foreign land

So now I'm out for political favors

A salary that corresponds with labor

Big house and a morning paper

Good fences that make good neighbors

I'm at the end

This here my rope

Another year to write and read the book I wrote

Now dialing out

For a good time

To bathroom wall

Toss it a dime

Dead king dead swing

Ali look out!

We have new rules

To do without

You talk of Jesus

Until I'm well red

The man is

Swimming

Swimming

Swimming in my head

Why settle down?

Why even try?

Me tiger mouth

Meet bloodless eye

So drop dead stock

What fallen tree?

I leave New York

For other cities

Which let me play

With gas and fire

Took out an ad

Best friend for hire

Know that Mama told me

Never to come

But I came softly, slowly

Banging me metal drum

Like Berryman

Bed-wet poet fears

That better man drink taller beers

Like scientist

I lost my glove

To bloody fists

And harder drugs

So split the night

And we get young

Like sacred cow

Without a tongue who sang a song sing

"time does not cut deep

But cuts most absurdly....."

so la da dum
