checking for rain with a wet finger
I got ideas but you can't prove 'm wrong.
That's the reason they're put in a song.
I got ideas but you can't prove 'm right.
Seeing is believing when you're out of sight.
Start with a one, add another one.
Two or eleven, that's the fun.
Take your cap, make a doff.
Laugh and laugh your head off.
Lookin' for an answer
That's not what it seems.
Tap dance life's chance sir
An' shake up your dreams.
Tug of war is a poor man's game.
Played with a rope and an all the same.
Something's gone missing between the ears.
Cheerio is mistaken for cheers.
Misheard is another word.
Misspoke is only a joke.
Outlier is pants on fire,
"Normal" distribution's retribution.
Lookin' for an answer
That's not what it seems.
Tap dance life's chance sir
An' shake up your dreams.
The forces of right, the forces of wrong
Get all mixed up in a song.
The neutral folks play along
The bells toll ding dong all night long.
Check for rain with a wet finger
It's raining again or it's a dead ringer.
I'm a thinkin' 'bout Marshal McLuhan,
How 'bout you, what are you doin?
Lookin' for an answer
That's not what it seems.
Tap dance life's chance sir
An' shake up your dreams.
The medium's got a crystal ball.
The massage's got a fix for it all.
We're all looking' at a gun moll.
What does that say 'bout our long haul?
Gangsters 'n pranksters all around.
On the up an' downside of every town.
Principals an' backups do abound,
The latter push the former into the ground.
Here comes the night,
There goes the day.
We all won't want it
Any other way.
An' angels bow their heads an' pray,
Just for what is hard t' say.
Lookin' for an answer
That's not what it seems.
Tap dance life's chance sir
An' shake up your dreams.
