Mother once, i awoke as an old man. my name was stanley forbes and i threw tin cans at everyone who pa**ed my porch. i dont know why i did but i didnt throw them at the kids so i was a good guy
I remember yellin hi
Too loo rye
It's the day before i die
So why
Too loo rye
Cause everybody is walking by? oh hi
Too loo rye
Its the day before i die
And i wanna sigh and cry
Alongside my brothers
Mother once i awoke, as a squirrel and i jumped from tree to tree to tree to tree, it was me at the acme of my career. i saved all i caught that year, which is a lot of acorns let me tell you. i was very resourceful and
I cried
Too loo rye
This is how it feels to fly so high
Too loo rye
This aint nothing cash could buy oh hi
Too loo lyre
Tomorrow i could die
So im gonna climb the pines and have myself a time
Mother i dreamt i died last night. see i was a lightbulb, left on a little too long and i burned till i was dead with a hundred good ideas in my head but i forgot 'em all and they tried to throw me away. but hey when they grabbed a hold of me they all would burn their hands and see that i was still quite hot with thought and so a little thought they got that they should keep me as a kind of warmth you cant get from a stove or hearth. so i sought and thought and frought and fought but then cooled down and said
Oh hi
Too loo rye
To think i had a light inside when i try
Too loo rye
To remember what i wanted to find so sigh
Too loo rye
I thought that i had died
But i think tonight i've got it right, i'm stanley and the squirrel the invisible light, i'm a lover liar, humble fire, i'm a little spider and a chicken on the wire climbin tryin sighin cryin laughin highfivin slowly dyin
But i swear now that's alright, yeah i swear now that's alright, mother i'm alright
