Lyrics In the Corner Dunce - Aleka's Attic

In the Corner Dunce

There’s a hole in my hat,
shows a near miss grazing my scalp,
and my hand are the only injuries
I’ll stand if I can
When I fall forget me
Will you respond if I float in?
Yes, welcome me back with a marching band
There’s a hole in the ozone,
So life’s worth giving up and when I do, now, won’t you please forgive me
It’s not that I’ve lost
'Cause in a way, well, I’ve been winning.
Will you respond if I limp in?
Welcome me back with a marching band.
There’s part of you that can’t help but to see right through this part of me,
and so when I go around round and I hit the town,
and when I can’t be found, then you wait for sounds.
Well it’s over you, you’re under me, and if it’s the way it should be then I
won’t bother
Your point of view is the point in me
So when you hear a loud sound it means I’m back from town
Now all this night is on my side.
Ooh like a sitting duck, floating like a swan then flying like a dove
Ooh, la, like a sitting duck,
floating like a swan and it’s all afterthought.
There’s a toll at the bridge
If I pay I’m giving in
and if I don’t then I could always swim it
With wings I could fly and avoid the risk of sinking
Will you respond if I float in?
By now I’ve forgotten how to use my fins
There’s a part of you that can’t help but to see right through this part of me
And so when I go around round and I hit the town
and when I cant be found found then you wait for sounds
Well it’s over you, you’re under me, and if it’s the way it should be then I
won’t bother
Your point of view is the point of me died
And when you hear a loud sound that means I’m back from town now
I rarely get to feel, you know, I hardly ever feel in place
Like a sitting duck, floating like a swan then flying like a dove.
Ooh, la la, it’s my faulty love
In the corner like a dunce it’s all self conscious thought
