The World Is Showing Its Hand |
When I first smelled the bus fume from the diesel motor |
Well my two-year-old mind could only applaud such odor |
The world is showing me it’s tricks |
The world was showing it’s hand |
Then an alley somewhere smelling of grease and piss |
I was delighted that the world would wanna smell like this |
The world is showing me it’s tricks |
The world was showing it’s hand |
Well the pond and the odor |
The swamp and the sweat |
Each smell is telling me a secret |
So give me an alley |
Give me an valley |
Give me a Neapolitan night |
Let me smell more of the world |
And gain more insight |
The world is showing me it’s tricks |
The world was showing it’s hand |
Yeah |
So give me a mowed lawn |
Give me a old song |
Give me summer rain |
Let me smell more of the world |
Then I might learn something |
The world is showing me it’s tricks |
The world was showing it’s hand |
