They Might Be Giants - Piece of Dirt lyrics

rate me

Piece of dirt, that is all I'm standing on today

Piece of dirt, the whole world has slipped away

I would climb the highest mountain just to jump into a fountain

Or to fly, I'd fly away

A woman's voice on the radio can convince you you're in love

A woman's voice on the telephone can convince you you're alone

But I set my sails so long ago they've revoked my sailor's badge

Said I should be content and happy on this ink spot where I stand

Piece of dirt, that is all I'm standing on today

Piece of dirt, the whole world has slipped away

I find myself haunted by a spooky man named me

I wish that I could jump out of my skin
