From the recording Living in a Shoe
Lyrics
Living in a Shoe
I can’t take my eyes off of you
Somehow I know you’ve got the clue
To everything beneath the sky so blue
So swing me up baby it’s monkey see monkey do
Everything and nothing is quite true
The only thing you know is what you do
So why are you still living in a shoe
When cedar, birch, and pine can pull you through
I can’t believe I’ve wasted a lifetime down there on my knees
Polishing the boots of my oppressor made shiny by my own greed
But baby the stars still shine at night if from the city you flee
For all my battles I’ve great plans
But they keep slipping from my hand
The pretty butterfly upon my nose
Is presently more interesting than bludgeoning my foes
The only animals are we
Who practice slavery
With God and guns and guts and worthless golden dust
Better hope the stars keep burning bright until we can find the light
