Dance of the Manatee Songtext

von Fair To Midland

Take a little dive into the shallow or spy
What do you see?
I see the tortoise and the hare in a rat-race
& 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

[CHORUS]

I must admit you hang us - those limbs hold no virtue
Those told to hold project on my cue

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

[CHORUS]

Oh, take a gander the bigger they are the harder they fall.[2x]
Not needy you'll see, not needy
And I come with open arms over trees.[4x]

Listen to my proven guarantees
While you're rollin 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
Do you hear the concrete guarantees?
And what they've done for you they've done for me.

[CHORUS][3x]
