WIDESPREAD PANIC - BARSTOOL AND DREAMERS lyrics

rate me

The barstools built for dreamers

We'll fit fine and find

All the worlds dreams have died

But tonight they're only taking thirsty people

Who've been pullin' on their drinks

From a glass that lies a bar length wide

And in the drink there swim the swimmers

And those whose swims have dried

Take another look, take another pull

Take another pour, take another pull

Before you take a ride

Heir to an open barstool, right there's one by "Mary the Fool"

Mary sees the bartender's knees

And she says that it's a bottle that she was born to be

And I say, "that's cool.. just right, right for a fool."

Thinkin' whiskey, she bought me a drink

I won't cross a word of what the lady thinks

Pray I don't cross what the lady thinks

She's been thinking out too loud though

This time I can't hear the pinball machine

Well there's a birdman playing tiny little sideways bongos

Pulling all those words down, down, down

Look at how the numbers glow

In the glass there rolls the iron ball

And a quarter states the toll that's all (that's all)

You take another look, take another pull

Take another pour, take another pull

Before you take a chance

Look at your hands, they're just right for a new kinda dance

Just forget what your bodies just done

And ride all the waves that the drums rest on

Like the smallest babies do, ya' know the little newborn babies do

If there's some food that the moon feeds on

A baby won't hold it back, won't hold it back

Baby doesn't know what I just said

Baby doesn't know the words that I just used

Babies haven't learned any words yet

Babies haven't been used by any words yet

People only think, people only talk

People only think in words they already know

The babies haven't learned any words yet (no)

They only know what the people feel

They don't really care what the people think

They only care what the people feel

Music only knows what the people feel

Babies only care and hear what the people feel, feel
