Sage Francis - Sea Lion Lyrics

The force of my love is strong
Sea lion laying down long
The song in the air
Why should singer care
When singer can be among song
(X2)

Ma, ma! Look what I did ma! Look what I did to my hands, I broke 'em
You gave me the stone, gave me the chisel, didn't say how to hold 'em
Didn't say give away every piece of the puzzle till I was left with nothing
But I took it upon myself to crush it up and distribute the dust
Get in the bus, hop in the van
Jump in the water, crawl to the land
Build another castle outta the sand
Break it down and then I get into the saddle again
Going city to city, I'm already lost to the boss who is new in town
I'm gonna ride this horse till it bucks me off and I'm forced to shoot it down
I'ma take it out for some gasoline, I'm gonna trade this cow for some magic beans,
Make mom proud of the deals that I made 'cuz I'm just a modern day Jonny Appleseed
But I'm glad that I never passed the jeans and I never put down the axe
Piano man got a checkered dance floor to grace and a painful look on his face
But the croud is packed and the louder they clap the less he is able to make a connection
Between what he sees when he hears certin notes and a hurt that is shown in his facial expression
Ahhhh!
Dont need your go ahead to go ahead
Now, I know no one said I was gonna be easy but sweet jesus who wants to sleep with me
Way to many moves to learn, not enough people to put them off
Look it, ma, no hands. I built this suit of armour with wooden arms

The force of my love was strong
Sea lion laying down long
The song in the air why whould singer care
When singer can be among song
(X2)
