Heed the Ball

Life and times of one and all
Living in the Isle of Dogs
Just waiting for a fall
For that Tele-Sales call
Am I anything at all
Or just an ugly, ugly old fart?
How can I understand at all
Why people think I'm not that tall?
Whatever happened to that man
Who never relaxed his tightly clenched hand
And waved it at the sky
Like he hates all things that fly?
You should heed your own advice
Like you never see
To slip back in time
Give or take a mile
You should heed your own advice
And say something nice
You won't regret
I could say that I love you
But it's not quite true
I could say I'd die for you
And that's true, that's true
On that day I first met you
I humbly believe that too
And every little thing you do
Is more than magic now, that's true
I should heed my own advice
Wear someone else's shoes
And say something nice
Maybe about you
I should spend a little time
Just talking to you
And I won't regret
On that day I first met you
I humbly believe that too
And every little thing you do
Is more than magic now, that's true
Whatever happened to that man
Who never relaxed his tightly clenched hand
And waved it at the sky
Like he hates all things that fly?
I should heed my own advice
Wear someone else's shoes
And say something nice
Maybe about you
I should spend a little time
Just talking to you
And I won't regret
Heed my own advice
Say something nice
Heed my own advice
Say something nice
Heed my own advice
