I've been stung by the rye So I'm floating like a bee I'm floating home from the whirlaway Things are clear to me Spring is coming back to the land It's only four degrees out but I feel it's true I cannot find the moon Stars are little pin pricks Neither of us is wounded Neither of us is sick Oh everybody's wounded Everybody's sick I said it, neither of us is wounded Neither of us is sick World gonna be so cruel to you World gonna be so mean I'm gonna catch you when you're fallin' through I'm a throw like a trampoline Throw me like a trampoline Skip me like a stone Shake me like a tambourine In a little baptist store front Oh you don't know The punches I've been thrown It's all living to me Dream me up a palomino Put me down on that on that plain I'll see you as a shadow Movin' cross the lake Step into our time daddy Hurry don't be late, I'm ready now World gonna be so cruel to you World gonna be so mean I'm gonna catch you when you're fallin' through I'm a throw you like a trampoline Ouh ouh yeah We got some strength We got some spine We got some trust We got some wine We don't seek shelter We just want time Give us just a little time Just a little time Just a little time Just a little time World gonna be so cruel to you World gonna be so mean I'm gonna catch you when you're fallin' through I'm a throw like a trampoline
