Ten Pound Snail - Lead Picnic lyrics
Artist: Ten Pound Snail
album: Tabula Rasa
If we ever sail away my dear
I'll turn blue as the water halfway through
Laughing and talking back won't do
I can't pretend to make it up to you
Reaching into the bag of tricks
I'd rather pack a lead picnic
I'll read your smile as a dare
If you put me in place
I've done much worse than you know
And work each day to erase
Don't you know I'm no good for you
Stepped on by the spiky red boots
Tempt me with the thrill of the fall
Failing now to fetter the gall
Subject to a stranglehold of precious moral gloves
Saving face by burning in the candlemaker's flood
I'll turn blue as the water halfway through
Laughing and talking back won't do
I can't pretend to make it up to you
Reaching into the bag of tricks
I'd rather pack a lead picnic
I'll read your smile as a dare
If you put me in place
I've done much worse than you know
And work each day to erase
Don't you know I'm no good for you
Stepped on by the spiky red boots
Tempt me with the thrill of the fall
Failing now to fetter the gall
Subject to a stranglehold of precious moral gloves
Saving face by burning in the candlemaker's flood
