Residents - The Weaver lyrics

rate me

Run, run, as fast as you can

You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man

You can look, look, hard as you can

You can't see me, I'm the Gingerbread Man

Poor old family of man

Never mind me, I'm just a Gingerbread Man

Only hours away could be a man with a million dollars

Only minutes away could be a guy with a gun

Only seconds away could be a love that will last

forever

But if it gets away there might not ever be one

In and out, in and out, in and out

How many times do I think "in and out, in and out"?

This color's not right

It needs some more red

Maybe it's the light

Now I'm not sure

I wonder where Ken is

What's she doing?

Ah, she's asleep

He tries to help

I know he loves me

But sometimes he seems so out of touch

And all he cares about are his words

So old and tired

I need someone to help me

And what if that guy follows him?

Last week he told me about that man who kept staring at

him

I can see him with his throat cut now

Oh, why do I do this?

I can see it all - school picture in the newspaper

"Child savagely slain"

God, I wish he was home now
