Dance of the Manatee Lyrics

Dance of the Manatee
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 in 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.
Em A D G x2 (intro)
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.
Small enough to feed off the lesses 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.
G/B G D (something like this)
Oh, take a gander the bigger they are the harder they fall.
Not needy you'll see, not needy
and I come with open arms over trees.
Not needy you'll see.
and I come with open arms over trees.
Listen to my proven guarantees while you're rolling up your sleeves,
beatin' on the 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
they've done for me, they've done for me.
Hang us those limbs hold no virtue.
Those told to hold: project on my cue.
