Fair To Midland - Dance Of The Manatee lyrics

Take a little dive
Into the shallow or spy what do you see?
I see the tortoise and the hare in a rat-race
And it fits like a glove under my sleeve
Just wait till then
Their heads are the heaviest of 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

Hang us those limbs, hold no virtue
Those told to hold, project on my cue
Until we fall

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
Their heads cast shadows like skyscrapers
Still small enough to fit up their asses
To put it all into perspective with definition

We marys had ourselves a ball
Oh, yes we did
We marys had ourselves a ball
I must admit

Hang us those limbs, hold no virtue
Those told to hold, project on my cue

Oh, take a gander
The bigger they are the harder they fall
[2x]

Not needy you'll see, not needy
And I come with open arms over trees
Not needy you'll see
[3x]
Not needy you'll see, not needy
And I come with open arms over trees

Listen to proven guarantees
While you're rollin' up the sleeves
Beatin' on your chest
But we can keep it in a jar
When it's comin' cats and dogs for days
We marys had ourselves a ball and I guarantee
And what they've done for you
What they've done for you
They've done for me [2x]

Hang us those limbs, hold no virtue
Those told to hold, project on my cue
[2x]
