Giantkiller
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.
There's honey in the jar
And here's some vinegar
Set them up side by side
One so sweet, one so sour
I sure love your sugar, baby
But to my surprise
Found swimming 'round in the suicider
Nothing less than eleven flies!
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11
That fact in the back of my mind
I meant to meet the world
A pocket full of rock and wood
But I was fearless, I was bold
Tell the silver messenger
Warn your gods I'm on my way
I'm a giantkiller
Good as gold, here to stay
Taking aim so carefully
I set my stone and I let it fly
And when the giant fell to earth
None more surprised than I
Walk the earth in seven league boots
Walk it fearless, walk it bold
Some say a giantkiller
Is only good as the story is told
Tell the silver messenger
Warn your gods I'm on my way
I'm a giantkiller
Good as gold, here to stay
Tell the silver messenger
Warn your gods I'm on my way
I'm a giantkiller
Good as gold, here to stay
Now be on your way
Now be on your way
I'm a giantkiller
Now be on your way
Tell the silver messenger
Warn your gods I'm on my way
I'm a giantkiller
Good as gold, here to stay
Good as gold, here to stay
Good as gold, here to stay
I'm a giantkiller
