Louden Swain - Eskimo lyrics

I once spoke up to a meter maid She said she liked the work but not the pay Writing tickets while you run away...Afraid I said hey to a polar bear He said he liked it here but not over there That's what its like inside a dragon's lair The ice is fading back It's like teaching architecture to an Eskimo You can show him everything you know, He's still gonna build it out of snow I'm gonna take my long division down to Mexico Where I can divide ...all night I said hey to an astronaut He said he wishes he could pick his spot He said he likes to go out a lot and not quite make it back It's like teaching architecture to an Eskimo You can show him everything you know He still gonna build it out of snow I'm gonna take my ticket and kick it down to Mexico Where I'm gonna fly, all night (Been around the world) Been around the world, and I've seen (Know what I mean) Enough to know what I mean (Ticking in my mind) I got this ticking in my mind And its about time Well, alright I set the record with Joan of Arc She knew her destiny before the spark She got the orders, and she played her part It's like teaching architecture to an Eskimo, You can show him everything you know, He's still gonna build it out of snow I'm gonna stand with my feet deeply rooted to the Ground below I can survive All night... It's like teaching architecture to an Eskimo You can show him everything you know He still gonna build it out of snow I'm gonna take my long division down to Mexico I can divide ...all night All night
