Lyrics

The barstool's built for dreamers, will fit fine
And find all those in the world whose dreams have died?
But tonight they're only taking thirsty people
Who've been pulling on their drinks
From a glass lies appealing quiet
And in the drink there swim the swimmers
And those who swims have dried
You take another look
Take another poll
Take another pull
Before you take a ride
Heir to an open barstool
Right there just wanna marry the fool
Mary sees the bartender's needs
And she sets in a bottle that she was born to be
I say that's cool
Just right, right for a fool
Thinking whiskey, she bought me a drink
I won't cross a word of what the lady thinks
Pray I don't cross what the lady thinks
No, she's been thinking out too loud, though
This time I can't hear the pinball machine
And there's a bird man playing tired sideway bongo
Pulling all those words down, down, down
Look at how the numbers grow
In the glass there rolls the iron ball
And the quarter states the toll, that's all
You take another look
Take another poll
Take another pull
Before you take a chance
Look at your hands
They're just ripe for a new kind of dance
Just forget what your body's just done
And ride on the waves that the tounge's pressed on
Like as small as babies do
You know the little move on, babies do
If there's some food that the moon feeds on
Pray it won't hold it back, it won't hold it back
Baby, doesn't know what I just said
Baby, doesn't know the words that I just used
Babies haven't learned any words yet
Babies haven't even used giant words yet
People only think
People only talk
People only think in words they already know
Babies haven't learned any words yet
They know what people feel
They don't really care what the people think
They only care what the people feel
Music only knows what the people feel
Babies only care what the people feel
Feel
