Like a whale eatin' krill I drink my cowboy coffee and I shoot to thrill when I do my talkin'. Don't need to say, what already has been said.
And Like a snail in the sea the colour of toffee, siftin' through the sand its how they do their walkin', they get there slow but the get where they need to be. Yea that whale's like you, and that snail's like me.
Pelican a tuna and a pelican a trout. I'll get you by the tail and grab your little snout. I'm all for letting sleeping dogs lie. It all depends on what, what you wanna let die.
And like a rough winged swallow I am prone to follow in through a window 'cause it looks so hollow. Cuttin' through the air like a knife through butter-flies. Yea my wingspan's big, but I got sticks for thighs.
Nothing more scary than a trapdoor spider. He's like all the rest 'cept he's got the gall to hide'er. All the little critters don't know they're in harms way. That spider got tired of the net. Disabled his Facebook page.
And like a pig in shit I eat my bacon. And my heart goes out to my heart that's achin'. Don't deny that it is in our genes. Any other cut will do, as long as it is lean.
There's not a thin line between thirty and fifty. If I get to either one then I'll assume you'll give me all sorts of things and all your lovin' best. It all depends on if lovin's what we do best.
