Bear Vs. Shark

(song version, not from lyric sheet)

beast in the garden i'll think of you
covered in ribbons, no one but you
but I'll take a part of it
oh just a little bit
everyone wants their control
fisherman's passing the buck to the farm hand
jumping concerns over backbones and benchmarks
and telephones and speedbumps are on their way out.
Please don't make me buy new shoes this year please
don't make me buy new sneakers this year.

you were right
the voices/words in the cars on the road next to mine
they remind me of things that i burned in my skin
how a boy makes decisions and bases them all on lies

baby got a balloon gonna take it to the top of the stairs said
baby's got a balloon gonna take it to the top of the stairs said

who comes to parties dancing all dressed up like that
you are a hero with real gold inside your hands
show her what she wants she wants it all
cops are the killers and hospitals never close
eyes are like pissing in puddles the smallest of backs
i won't turn my head
your boat has left and now your mates are dead
and you get in your car drive as far as the city goes

forty hawks to guide my way per mile
and if she's drunk on alcohol and smiles

age is on you and it's no one but you.
