Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Guess I’ll go eat worms,
Long, thin, slimy ones;
Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.
[I prefer your #4926, so that is what I am going with. Worms…eww…]
Last spring they called you the hyacinth girl
We laughed and left no regrets
The seasons have blown out all yesterday’s curls
And now it’s time to forget
The green days have blown away
Flown away, blown away
We mustn’t forget those three months hiding
We had joy, we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time
Time - got the time tick-tick-ticking in my head
Time - got the time tick-tick-ticking in my head
Time - got the time tick-tick-ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
Ticking in my head
(Tick tock tick) Doo doo doo-doo
(Tick tock tick) Doo doo doo-doo
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future
I want to fly like an eagle to the sea
Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me
Their ways are open
They spread as their wings
They want to be certain
Of a warm surrounding
When they fly
Through the night
As beautiful
Nighttime birds
Hey, little lark, get outta the dark,
Foul owl on the prowl.
Hey little jay, stay out of his way,
Foul owl on the prowl.
You just might be the quail he’ll tail,
Foul owl on the prowl.
You just might be the swallow he’ll follow,
Foul owl on the prowl.
Spread your tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you
Where it came from on that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I would
Fly away with you
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd,
“In the name of God, my father, I fly!”
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave
Falling like feathers to the floor
Falling like feathers to the floor
You gave me things I’ve never seen
You make my life a waking dream
But we are dead
Falling like ashes to the floor
Falling like ashes to the floor
I opened the paper, there was your picture,
Gone, gone, gone by your own hand.
The phone started ringing, had I heard about it?
I shook every time I heard it ring.
What was my reaction? I put the phone down.
That was the only news that was fit to sing.
Well the telephone is ringing,
Is that my mother on the phone?
Telephone is ringing,
Is that my mother on the phone?
The telephone is screaming,
Won’t she leave me alone?
The telephone is ringing,
Is that my mother on the phone?
Ring, ring, why don’t you give me a call?
Ring, ring, the happiest sound of them all
Ring, ring, I stare at the phone on the wall
And I sit all alone impatiently
Won’t you please understand the need in me?
Why don’t you write me
I’m out in the jungle
I’m hungry to hear you.
Send me a card,
I am waiting so hard
To be near you.
You treat me like I was your ocean
You swim in my blood when it’s warm
My cycles of circular motion
Protect you and keep you from harm
You live in a world of illusion
Where everything’s peaches and cream
We all face a scarlet conclusion
But we spend our time in a dream
Jungle love it’s drivin’ me mad
It’s makin’ me crazy
Jungle love it’s drivin’ me mad
It’s makin’ me crazy
Traveling through both space and time
(Out of body, out of mind)
Out of control, my wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
(I can’t let up, I can’t let go)
Can’t stop this flame from burning
Forever more, into the night, blistering
There ain’t no space and time
To keep our love alive
We have existence and it’s all we share
There ain’t no real truth
There ain’t no real lies
Keep on pushin’ 'cause I know it’s there
Oh, can you just tell me
It’s all right (It’s all right)
Let me sleep tonight
Oh, can you comfort me
Tonight (It’s all right)
Make it all seem fine
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
Wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh, wimoweh
I’m gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware!
Well, I’ve never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
I’m gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I’m brushing up on looking down
I’m working on my ROAR
Weep for yourself, my man,
You’ll never be what is in your heart
Weep little lion man,
You’re not as brave as you were at the start
