They`ve been circling They`ve been circling Since the day they were born
It`s disturbing How they`re circling Fifty feet from the pond
Pretty often Pretty often I don`t want to be told
It`s a problem It`s a problem It`s a problem I know And I won`t keep what I can`t catch in my bare hands without a net It`s hard enough to walk on grass so conscious of the consequences
They`ve been jerking They`ve been jerking In a pail by the dock
I know that oxygen might Make them blossom and die But I`m not going to talk
Feed them details Feed them emails They`ll eventually grow
But it`s not working It`s not working Not as far as I know
And killing things is not so hard it`s hurting that`s the hardest part And when the wizard gets to me I`m asking for a smaller heart
And I got you I thought that I got you now I`ll ruin it all
Feeling helpless Acting selfish Being human and all
And they`re jumping And they`re jumping But they`ll never get out
Just keep touring Just keep on ignoring Be a good little trout
And the butcher stops and winds his watch and lays their lives down on the block He raises up his hatchet and the big hand strikes a compromise
Wait, we`ll trade you Wait
Please just one more day And then we`ll go with no complaining No complaining No complaining No complaining Stop Come
And they`re cutting And they`re cutting And I think that I know And they`re gutting And they`re gutting And I think that I know And it`s beating Look, it`s beating And I don`t want to know And it`s beating Look, it`s still beating God, I don`t want to know
And killing things is not so hard It`s hurting that`s the hardest part And when the wizard gets to me I`m asking for a smaller heart And if he tells me 'no' I`ll hold my breath until I hit the floor Eventually I`m know I`m doomed To get what I am asking for
Now my heart is exactly the size Of a six-sided die cut in half Made of ruby red stained glass
Can I knock you unconscious as long as I promise I`ll love you and I`ll make you laugh? Now my heart is exactly the size Of a six-sided die cut in half Made of ruby red stained glass Can I knock you unconscious as long as I promise I`ll love you and I`ll make you laugh?
