funnyman, sad clown
eat bananas upside down
turn your smile up and around
find a cloud where you can lay me down
blessed be the kids
who pray for simple things
in everyone and everything
like a magic pumpkin, jack-o-lantern.
a family let down
I run amuck every time I come to town
the underbelly of the brown dog
it's sensitive and pure
he is lonesome, I am sure.
blessed be my mom and dad and brothers too.
what they give to me, I'm giving back to you.
a jack-o-lantern.
blessed be my girl
it's wonderful
to laugh at the world
like a pumpkin with a pearl
blessed be my mom and dad and brothers too.
what they give to me, I'm giving back to you.
they paved my way away, and now I'm back.
a jack-o-lantern.
a-ha.
