| So what was it about the market in town
|
| You really thought that you could bucket in a tuxedo
|
| But then they put you in a bracket and now
|
| You are convinced that you could somehow, somehow make it though
|
| You’re really concentrated selling, selling celery salt
|
| You’re measuring, measuring minute by minute the cost
|
| The risk that we are meaning for you
|
| But you’re missing the point, missing the point
|
| I heard sometimes they call you Patrick
|
| Because you panic when your name’s not on the radio
|
| And that regardless of the season
|
| You’re drinking champagne without any reason
|
| Come, and lift me in the air, lift me forth and back
|
| I’m a little leaf, I’m swinging, but I will not crack
|
| Come, and jump into the mud, let me see you slide
|
| I’m a little leaf, I’m falling, but I will not hide
|
| Come, and take me in your palm, I don’t weigh a pound
|
| But I keep on ringing, ringing when I come around
|
| And I keep on singing, and I keep on singing…
|
| So what was it about the market in town
|
| You really thought that you could bucket in a tuxedo
|
| But then they put you in a bracket and now
|
| You’re still convinced that you can somehow, somehow make it though
|
| The sugar atop your cake is exploding
|
| You should have reloaded your guns
|
| The sons of your nuns are claiming explanation of choice
|
| So here’s the weapon of voice
|
| Come, and lift me in the air, lift me forth and back
|
| I’m a little leaf, I’m swinging, but I will not crack
|
| Come, and jump into the mud, let me see you slide
|
| I’m a little leaf, I’m falling, but I will not hide
|
| Come, and take me in your palm, I don’t weigh a pound
|
| But I keep on ringing, ringing when I come around
|
