Ordinary Tune

The poet's disgrace

No words to rhyme with your face

I study the lines then i trace them back to earth

I could never listen

To the ordinary tunes

You are something else

You are something else

I keep on trying

To throw my line in

Baited, quiet, but you're not biting

Anchors pulled in

The sea is open

Keep and even keel

Into the waves

I never go with the grain

It always trips me up and makes me fall

I could never listen

To the ordinary tunes

You are something else

You are something else

(it begins with my father

Getting in with my mother

Then a stranger

For a daughter

It begins

With your father

Getting in

With your mother

You're no stranger

Than me)

Come on try it

You know you'll like it

Each day i'm wasting

Until you're tasting

My only danger

Is human nature

And pirates at my heels
