Somebody Bet The Bay

I love myself too much and others too little
My theory is ‘cause I was born in the middle of a tribe of rivals
Sell my kid sister’s soul for the bite of a muffin
While hiding from a big brother going around cuffing
All the little new arrivals
But enough about me let’s talk about you
Just kidding this is all about me but it’s true
That you’re somewhere in it
Why don’t we just wait and see what the tune brings
When it sings when it purrs
Which is likely to occur 
In just about a in a minute

Some sing “hide your love away”
I sing “somebody bet the bay”
Morning noon and night and day
Streaking horses
Some say “I know I know I know”
I say “I don’t I know I don’t” 
For example calling those
Wins and losses

And it’s been a damn bloody hard argument
Between civilization and my discontent
While I marvel and I mumble
About all of the beautiful things that exist
In a world that contains too much to resist
My plan is to be humble

Some sing “hide your love away”...

So many people in caves and in caverns
We know who they are
We know how it happens
I wish we could free them all from the darkness
I wish I could save us
I would if I could, I would if I could

It isn’t quite clear why clearly I’m smitten
Where any page on the page nothing is written
No scribble no doodle
Skinny little fingers but I draw stuff anyway
Thin little voice but I sing stuff anyway
Even if it’s futile
But I ain’t stopping, don’t even wanna to stop
Who cares not me shout it from the rooftop
And keep on going
All I need’s a blank page grand piano on a stage
Paint brush color wheel don’t think just feel
And let my river flow and let if flow

Sell my kid sister’s soul for the bite of a muffin
While hiding from a big brother going around cuffing
All the little new arrivals
But enough about me let’s talk about you
Just kidding this is all about me but it’s true
That you’re somewhere in it
Why don’t we just wait and see what the tune brings
When it sings when it purrs
Which is likely to occur 
In just about a in a minute

Ba Ba da ba
Ba da ba da ba da da...
