Kelly Joe Phelps - Cardboard Box of Batteries

Kishore Kumar Hits — Kelly Joe Phelps - Cardboard Box of Batteries lyrics

Artist: Kelly Joe Phelps

album: Slingshot Professionals

Make a dent in the shovel
Run the mud through the sieve
Paste your hopes on a windmill blade
And plant it up on the hill
A pencil sharpened with a putty knife
A pretty girl as a pretty nun
Maybe you wake and think this is great
I just want somewhere to run
♪
The walls blend into ceilings, and the faces disappear
Never enough time to think it out, only time to forget I'm here
The bill is on the table, but I've got no coins for pay
A beer half circle around her name, what the hell did she say?
♪
The wise are playing tetherball and the ball's eyes look like mine
Rolling around on the end of the cord, I can't make up for down
I'm a streamlined engine with a cog chipped out of the wheel
I remember a dirty joke or two, but I can't remember the feel
I remember a dirty joke or two, but I can't remember the feel
♪
Too much time alone I spent, a miser with a nickel worn
Starving like a mother, but I can't let go
I'll spit the hours 'cross the room and I'll kick 'em out of the door
Hell, you can have them
Just another thing I've got no use for
♪
And it's funny that this comes out dark, it's not that bad
There's still a sparkle of silver in my cavity that plays music in the winter
I've got a cardboard box of batteries hidden in a tire swing
A miners hat with a light on top and a handful of wedding rings
A miners hat with a light on top and a handful of wedding rings
