fort
ashby
out-of-tune
piano, cylinder gramophone
katydids, calliopes, big machines that buzz and groan
down at the county fair
there's music in the air
it's like a tom waits tune
but with a different singer
it's a great big world and it seems to me
it's much bigger and it's so much smaller than it
ever used to be
in my grandma and grandfather's backyard
they built a forty-foot slide
all i remember is the light
there's
a funhouse called star warz
(it's spelled with a "z")
copyright infringement, it's all coming back to me
here comes a big bass drum
to rock my skeleton
there's candy in the air,
it's slipping through my fingers
it's a great big world and it seems to me
it's much bigger and it's so much smaller than it
ever used to be
now they tell me that it's monster trucks and
tractor pulls in the night
all i remember is the light
put
me in the moonwalk, i can't even stand
take me to the stage
to see daddy in a country band
some kid who's half my size
she won the livestock prize
she had a little lamb
and then the lamb got bigger
it's a great big world and it seems to me
it's much bigger and it's so much smaller than it
ever used to be
got my baby beside me going eastbound
on a cross-country flight
all i can think of is the light
