They Might Be Giants - Piece Of Dirt Lyrics

Lyrics Piece Of Dirt - They Might Be Giants



Piece of dirt, that is all I′m standing on today
Piece of dirt, the whole world has slipped away
I would climb the highest mountain just to jump into a fountain
Or to fly, I'd fly away
A woman′s voice on the radio can convince you you're in love
A woman's voice on the telephone can convince you you′re alone
But I set my sails so long ago they′ve revoked my sailor's badge
Said I should be content and happy on this ink spot where I stand
Piece of dirt, that is all I′m standing on today
Piece of dirt, the whole world has slipped away
I find myself haunted by a spooky man named me
I wish that I could jump out of my skin
