Mumbletypeg by Rheostatics
I had a Mom, a Dad, a sister in the back of the car.
Frightened by every living creature
'till she cut through the dark.
Saw her reflection in the screaming ice,
fell in love not even twice -
or three times.
Love struck quick. Was like a razor's flick.
Hand to eyes to mouth.
The Angels cried when they sent you south,
but you will - you will - you will be happy
in spite of the shit and the pain of it.
A little dream of flags on an inky ship.
You will ride five colored horses.
Open sesame. Open your lips.
Oh, I will...
Everything big - so full of nothing
that I just didn't need.
Licking you like
an all day sucker game of Mumbletypeg.
You are the little thing that I understand
like playing in this Rock and Roll band.
