Lyrics for Dance of the Manatee
take a little dive into the shallow or spywhat do you see?
i see the tortoise and the hare in a rat-race
& it fits like a glove under my sleeve
just wait till then.
their heads are the heaviest in operation
he has still not lost imagination
i can hear him mouth the whole ending -
just wait till then.
we marys had ourselves a ball
oh, yes we did
we marys had ourselves a ball
i must admit you hang us - those limbs hold no virtue
those told to hold project on my cue
whether a he or a she put your mouth where your money is
are the birds of a feather that clever?
if i knew i'd keep locks, that's a given
just wait till then.
(bridge)
listen to my proven guarantees
while you're rollin up your sleeves
beatin' on the chest
but we can keep it in a jar
when it's comin' cats and dogs for days
do you hear the concrete guarantees?
and what they've done for you they've done for me.
