Fair To Midland Lyrics
"Dance of the Manatee"

Take a little dive into the shallow or spy what do you see?
I see the tortoise and the hare in a rat-race
and it fits like a glove under my sleeve, just wait 'til then.
Their heads are the heaviest in operation,
He has still not lost imagination.
I can hear him mouth the whole ending -
Just wait 'til then.

We mares had ourselves a ball.
Oh, yes we did.
We mares had ourselves a ball,
I must admit--

Hang us those limbs hold no virtue.
Those told to hold: project on my cue.
Until we fall

Whether a he or a she, put your mouth where your money is.
Are the birds of a feather that clever?
If I knew I'd keep locks, that's a given, just wait 'til then.
Their heads cast shadows like skyscrapers,
just so small enough to fit up their asses to put it all into perspective,
with definition

We mares had ourselves a ball.
Oh, yes we did.
We mares had ourselves a ball,
I must admit--

Hang us those limbs hold no virtue.
Those told to hold: project on my cue.

Oh, take a gander the bigger they are the harder they fall.
Oh, take a gander the bigger they are the harder they fall.

Not needy you'll see, not needy
and I come with open arms over trees.
Not needy you'll see .
Not needy you'll see, not needy
and I come with open arms over trees.
Not needy you'll see .
Not needy you'll see, not needy
and I come with open arms over trees.
Not needy you'll see .
Not needy you'll see, not needy
and I come with open arms over trees.

Listen to my proven guarantees while you're rolling up your sleeves,
beatin' on the chest.
But we can keep it in a jar when it's comin' cats and dogs for days.

We mares had ourselves a ball.
And I guarantee
And what they've done for you (what they've done)
they've done for me.
They've done for me.

Hang us those limbs hold no virtue.
Those told to hold: project on my cue.

Hang us those limbs hold no virtue.
Those told to hold: project on my cue.
