Our daydream spills from our quartet
Breaks free of my wooden neck
Left a nod over sleeping waves

Like bobbing bait for bathing cod
Floating flocks of candle swans
Slowly drift across wax ponds


The men all played along to marching drums
and boy did they have fun behind the sea

They sang, ?so our matching legs are marching clocks
and we're all too small to talk to god
Yes, we're all too smart to talk to god"


Toast the fine folks casting silver crumbs
to us from the dock.



Jinxed things ringing as they leak

through tiny cracks in the boardwalk.
Scarecrow now it's time to hatch
sprouting suns and ageless daughters.


Those watermelon smiles just can't ripen underwater
Just can't ripen underwater


The men all played along to marching drums
and boy did they have fun behind the sea

They sang, ?so our matching legs are marching clocks
and we're all too small to talk to god
Yeah, we're all too smart to talk to god

oh, we're all too smart to talk to god"
