Lyrics
Purple Anteater
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Purple anteater waits on the corner
Winging one night I'm slight
Open eyes just to see the people
That you don't play at all
See them fall
When you think it's easy
Just believe you're deceived
The anteater waits for the bus
He's waiting for his mom
Where's she gone?
So he sits on by the phone
Feeling tired and alone
When will she appear?
It's not clear
When you think it's easy
Just believe you're deceived
The anteater waits for the bus
He's waiting for his mom
Where's she gone?
