Old corn farmers on a smoke break Wearing old hats and ***** shirts Talking about rainbows and politics Alligators evolve so as the raven Their claws soon become useless Just like the human brain An owl cautiously moved into the limelight Wearing oversize diamond and opal Hoping he doesn't look like an animal Lips like cherries and a tongue like strawberries She has all the makings of a total fruit cake Who will think she stings like a snake? I am afraid our eyes are bigger than our brain That we have more curiosity than understanding For we grasp all but catch nothing but wind

The Skin You Wear
Old corn farmers on a smoke break Wearing old hats and ***** shirts Talking about rainbows and politics Alligators evolve so as the raven Their claws soon become useless Just like the human brain An owl cautiously moved into the limelight Wearing oversize diamond and opal Hoping he doesn't look like an animal Lips like cherries and a tongue like strawberries She has all the makings of a total fruit cake Who will think she stings like a snake? I am afraid our eyes are bigger than our brain That we have more curiosity than understanding For we grasp all but catch nothing but wind
