Album: Under The Table And Dreaming
Lyrics: (You can read the song straight through.
I included the full chorus in all the parts
where it is sung.)
He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat, and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
the week ends the week begins
She thinks-we look at each other
wondering what the other is thinking
but we never say a thing
and these crimes between us grow deeper
Take thesechances
place them in a box until a quieter time
lights down you up and die
Goes to visit is Mommy
she feeds him well his concerns he forgets them
and remembers being small
playing under the table and dreaming
Take these chances
place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down you up and die
Driving along this highway
all these cars endup on the sidewalk
people in every direction
no words exchanged no timeto exchange
When all the ants are marching
red and black antennaewaving
they all do it the same...they all do it the same way
Candyman tempting the thoughts
of a sweet-tooth tortured by weightloss program
cutting the corners
loose end, loose end, cut, cut
on the fence butnotto offend
cut cut, cut cut
Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down you up and die
Lights down you up anddie
