Lyrics
On The Wall
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.
Unlike the mole
I'm not in a hole
And I can't see anyway
Just like a doll
I am one foot tall
But dolls can't see anyway
The frozen stare
The clothes and hair
These make me taste like a man
Tied to a door
Chained to a floor
An hour glass grain of sand
Life in a sack is coming back
I'm like the clock
I'm like the clock
I'm like the clock
On the wall
On the wall
On the wall
Swim in the sea
Swim inside me
But you can't swim far away
I never grew
Covered up by you
And nothing grows anyway
Life in a sack is coming back
I'm like the clock
I'm like the clock
I'm like the clock
On the wall
On the wall
On the wall
