ROPES

ROPES
Like a spider I zoom in on your words
A piglet goes to dirt
Windows I’d like to gaze upon
Oh but not yet
(Think very carefully about
the first question he asked you)

Could you feel the weight was being lifted
As my attention drifted
Felt the shrinking it was all right
Oh but not yet
(Think very carefully about
my running around in circles
while trying to break some paper)

Been unsuccessful up to now
But you know some paths they bend just like a bow
And you know I’ll kick myself if I’m the cow
And you know has anyone ever spoken to you about very much resembling
Oh! Sinéad O'Connor
Oh! Sinéad O'Connor
Oh! And that singer turns me on
Oh! Of her I'm very fond

Like a ball I’ve been bouncing on your floor
Won’t be asking for more
Until you lay me on the table
Oh but not yet
(Think very carefully about
my making small advances
while asking an alarm to call)

Been unsuccessful up to now
But you know some paths they bend just like a bow
And you know I’ll kick myself if I’m the cow
And you know has anyone ever spoken to you about very much resembling
Oh! Sinéad O'Connor
Oh! Sinéad O'Connor
Oh! And that singer turns me on
Oh! Of her I'm very fond
