looking out the fishbowl
at this beethoven bust
ever since the canine
no one has looking at us
but i bet with a running start
we could leap out of the water
a two foot drop to the oriental rug
and no one would be bothered
we could flip & flop across the hardwood floor
hold our breath through the lawn
the bust now sits where a globe used to be
canada should be at the end of this street
and lake louise is where i wanna be
(chorus)
it is the 5th of july
feeling independent
please step aside
the celebration´s over
we are now on our own for the 1st of our lives
on the 5th of july
now what
looking out the kennel
at the dying oak tree
ever since the newborn
no one has looking at me
but i bet with these incisors
i could gnaw through this lead
a two mile run to the county line
a two state run to the sea
i could run through the briars & the brambles
where a rabbit´dn´t go
so fast the hounds couldn´t catch me
like a johnny horton show
and anywhere´s where i want to be
(chorus)
one if by land
two if by sea
three if by phone or facsimile
four if by plane
five if by boat
six if bilingual
seven by goat
eight by ten glossies of me
looking out the bedroom
at the snowy tv
ever since commencement
no one has asking ´bout me
but i bet before the night falls
i could catch the late bus
take small provisions & this beethoven bust
i could find work in the outskirts of the city
eat some fish on the way
befriend an old dog for a roadside pal
find a nice couch to stay
a pull sofa, if you please
(chorus)
