In the Morning
Give me a leaf in a condiment jar Fill it with well water My feet and my head, tucked in and wet Beneath a plate of shale bone I liked it and I'd do it again To be a turtle and a mayonnaise-magnet The world is quick and I'm a coward, boy So I'll see you in the morning Give me a corner of the third drawer down Or hang me up from the mantle There's not a foot in this place, but I've got plenty of space Somewhere there's another I liked it and I'd do it again To be a sock and made of polyester But nothing's easier than wearing me out So I'll see you in the morning Give me a plot and I'll tell you a story About the trials of birds and beavers The hammock swings, I count my rings and my roots In your backyard I liked it and I'd do it again To be a tree and a canine kickstand Everyone's a user and I can't say “no” So I'll see you in the morning Aus Songtexte Mania
