lyrics
there's flies in the kitchen
snakes in the weeds
I lie like a dog
but I sleep like a sheep shorn new
here next to you
you know I wanna sink
in your eyes so blue
I walk like a monkey
but I talk like a man
I ain't the best
but I'll do the best I can for you
the best that I can do
you know I wanna swim
in your eyes so blue
I'll sleep in on Sunday
and I'll work through the dawn
I'll trim all your bushes
and I'll cover your lawn with a new
red rose tattoo
and then I'll water it
with your eyes so blue
I swallowed the water
but I choked on the pill
I sent for the doctor
and he said "April can be cruel"
so I sent for you
you know I wanna drink
from your eyes so blue
I'll sing for my supper
and I'll steal for my beer
I'll build you an ark
you know it might take a year or two
but we could start a zoo
and then we'll drift away
on your eyes so blue
snakes in the weeds
I lie like a dog
but I sleep like a sheep shorn new
here next to you
you know I wanna sink
in your eyes so blue
I walk like a monkey
but I talk like a man
I ain't the best
but I'll do the best I can for you
the best that I can do
you know I wanna swim
in your eyes so blue
I'll sleep in on Sunday
and I'll work through the dawn
I'll trim all your bushes
and I'll cover your lawn with a new
red rose tattoo
and then I'll water it
with your eyes so blue
I swallowed the water
but I choked on the pill
I sent for the doctor
and he said "April can be cruel"
so I sent for you
you know I wanna drink
from your eyes so blue
I'll sing for my supper
and I'll steal for my beer
I'll build you an ark
you know it might take a year or two
but we could start a zoo
and then we'll drift away
on your eyes so blue
