[Chorus 1]

The rain has washed my dog away again

Closest to a breathing thing I'd call a friend

Hope the next wave brings a valentine


[Verse]

Its been so cold and lonely here

Ever since that cloud appeared

I keep wishing the lamp would shine

Feed me any piece of you

I'll find a way to prop it up alone

Cause I care about the way you stand

But I think you'd look nicer if you had a few bones

Waiting for the tree to cry

Blow a kiss as the mountains wave bye

And the turtles are running free

Blind man has got a whip

It's more fun than that white stick

He bought a carrot, but he still can't see

You know I've waited forty-six years

For a ray of hope to pierce me through

Then I could bleed the sunshine

And wriggle chest high in mountain dew


[Chorus 2]

There's only so much to endure

There's only so much space here on my skewer

Sick of second billing to that magic goat

All I wanna know, baby


[Outro]

Does it float? [x6]

Does it float? [x4]

Why does it float?

Does it float?
