They Might Be Giants — Piece Of Dirt lyrics

Lyrics

Piece of dirt, that is all I’m standing on today
Piece of dirt, my whole world has slipped away
I would climb the highest mountain just to jump into a fountain
Or to fly, I’d fly away
A woman’s voice on the radio can convince you you’re in love
A woman’s voice on the telephone can convince you you’re alone
But I set my sails so long ago they’ve revoked my sailor’s badge
Said I should be content and happy on this ink spot where I stand
Pice of dirt
I made it prettier today
Piece of dirt, it was that or just complain
I find myself huanted by a spooky man named me I wishthat I could jump pout of my skin
