Alvin Row

Baby love me now that you are born

Oh! Baby!

Baby in your cradle look at me

Baby speak in rhythms now you're three

Ride your German Shepherd 'till you're five

Baby think the TV is alive

Baby spend the night out you're thirteen

Bending for a wish your candles leaned

Baby bang erasers and wash the board

Think just yesterday you wore a sword

Watch your new years evening wash away

You're on the floor, can you hear me troubadour?

Alvin row tangled in your broken kite

It's hard to be Ben Franklin but

Try staying against the light

Old clapper you can step inside

Accustomed to the rust your silver child

Alvin Row, we're glad to see that you can't fake it

White corn grow on every side

But you can't take it, the yellow wardrobes suits you fine

Alvin all these visions smile

Let them do your makeup I know

Alvin Row, half of them are on your side

The other figments all are being completely unselfish

And all behind the right man here

My mind is not unkind it's just not open

Alvin Row, I watched the mime cryin' his winches

Brown black bag, we'll let you be until you'll fade

Now fade, now fade

Now fade, now

Tired of reaching for the lampshade

Baby reading, baby love me

Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun!

Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun!

Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun!

Ruuuuuuuun! Ruuuuuuuuun!

I told the baker's daughter that I didn't want the water

She only likes it when I beg, so I expect she's waiting

I told the baker's daughter that I didn't want their water

She only likes it when I beg, so I expect she's waiting

Row, Alvin Row, Alvin Row, Alvin Row, Row Alvin

I remember the day that I walked away from this empty flight

Cause the demons are really the ones when there's nothing on

Would slip by when I'm silent I have to let so many people down

But the bell from the ice cream man comes to save the day

The winter comes we do not wander, I belong

The chocolate shakes, the sun awakes, I play ping pong

The autumn clouds distort and crowd the petal lawn

I pulled the glass it dripped too fast for second dawn

Since we passed through the maze as we unlock the stage of my other ride

I remember the shining, the spot on the day she played

Though I never knew Moses I know many noses with thoughts like me

Take a drive to the Jacksonville pharmacy and pretend

But a new apartment and a heart don't make me old

This is spinal rage and lit a page and I've been told

But I'm walking on a wire with eight other eyes

Be sure to play the best of you eight other sides

I'll stay shy, you stay shy

Dear Alvin

I'll say bye, you say bye

Dear Alvin

I'll say go, you say go

Dear Alvin

I'll sing Row, you sing Row

Dear Alvin

I'll stay shy, you stay shy

Dear Alvin

I'll say bye, you say bye

Dear Alvin

I'll say go, you say go

Dear Alvin

I'll sing Row, you sing Row

Dear Alvin

I'll say go, you say go

Dear Alvin
