Songtext:
The thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole. Klebefolie beidseitig
The morning was distemper grey,
Of the thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole. Duesseldorf Internetauftritt
The man at the bottom was smiling.
He had just finished his breakfast smiling. Wahrsagen
It hadn't rained or manured for over two hours.
The man at the top was starving. Kegelbahn Köln
The pole was a horrible looking thing
With all of those eyes and ears Immobilien Köln
And waving hands for balance.
There was no way to get a copter in close Architekten Haus
So everybody was starving together.
The man at the top had long ago given up Pflanzenextrakte
But didn't have nerve enough to climb down.
At night the pole would talk to itself and the chatter wasn't too good. Resveratrol
Obviously the pole didn't like itself, it wanted to walk!
It was the summer and it was hot Herbstbaum basteln
And balance wouldn't permit skinning to undergarments.
It was an integrated pole, it was taking on an reddish brown cast. Baudenkmäler
Exercise on the pole was isometric,
Kind of a flex and then balance
Then the highest would roll together,
The ears wiggle, hands balance.
There was a gurgling and googling heard
A tenth of the way up the pole.
Approaching was a small child
With Statue of Liberty doll.
