Lyrics

Dwarfbeat

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.

That's what happens accidentally when you're in the mood

For a bit of nothing much or even just some food

That's what happened every day between "you say" and between "you do"

That's what happens every second to you

That's what happens unintentionally when you're playing cards

There's a smell of burning and a screeching from the yard

There's a chicken in the chimney, there's a book on what to do

But I've never read it -- baby, have you?

So you feel like a dwarf who feels like a king

Yeah, a dwarf has some fun

When there's no one tall to be compared with

That's what happens accidentally when you're on a boat

The sea is full of iron gloves, you wonder how they float

There's a suit of armor eating scampi by your side

When he lifts his visor there's nothing inside

So you look for the scampi

And you feel like a dwarf

Yeah, a dwarf has some fun

When there's no one tall to be compared with

That's what happens accidentally when you're on a train

Everybody's made of glass, you can see right through their brains

When the train goes underwater it gets green and black as night

That's okay, 'cause someone turns on the light

Then the fish all come round, and they stare through the glass

So it's you in the bowl

'Cause there's no one else to be compared with
