Thanks and Praises Songtext

von Jerry Joseph

Eddie Hinton sat there and I'm looking for some clues
I think I finally get it because I could use one, too
With a half a gallon of low fat milk, a quart of
Orange juice
Hard to keep it cryptic trying to keep it loose
Keep it loose
I dreamed I saw a serpent swallowing its tail
It said the answer is in the garden but it isn't up
For sale
Weird to think your destiny lies in your choice of fruit
The tiger or the princess, at least it's yours to choose
I can see the old folks headed down to the parade
Promising to keep all of the promises they made
Giving thanks and praises today
Someone told my daughter that karma isn't real
But it's been circling for years now, just think how
That makes me feel
Like when Jim Bone said the twenty clowns aren't
Really in the car
I wish people would just leave things the way I think
That they are
I can see the children headed down to the parade
Promising to keep all of the promises they made
They're giving their thanks and praises
Thanks and praises today
I hit the wet streets running towards inflatable
Cartoons
I'd like to think they're something more than
Heroin balloons
If the answer is going to get here, well I hope it gets
Here soon
Because I could use a little taste to brighten up my room
I can see myself headed down to the parade
Promising to keep all of the promises I have made
All of the promises I have made
Giving my thanks and praises
Thanks and praises
I'm giving my thanks and praises
Thanks and praises today
I'm giving my thanks and praises
Thanks and praises today
