How I wish I could give him nine
How I wish I could give him mine
Ah's never did give nothing to the Tin Man
Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
Among the shells
Among the shelves
And Cos never was the reason for the evening
And Cause never was the reason for the evening
And Oz never was the reason for the evening
Or the traffic of Sir Galahad
And cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the Tropic of Sir Galahad
And people share the gift of grab
And people share the gift of gab
But I never did give nothing to the Tin Man.
But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man.
Daddy didn't, didn't already have
That he didn't, didn't already have
For the profit of Sir Galahad
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
God never did give nothin' to the tin man.
Oz never did give nothin' to the tin man.
I'se never did give nothing to the tin man.
But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man.
If it's going down, down, down, down
Image going down, down, down, down
It's me
Believe in me
So please
Believe in me
Or the tropic of Sir Callahan
or
Or the tropic of Sir Out of Gas
or
Or the tropic of Sir Gotta Have
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad
Smoke, grass stains, bicarbonates
Smoke glass, stained bright colors.
Smoke, grass stains, black cotton
Smoke glass, stained bright colors.
Smoked grass stained my car.
Smoke glass, stained bright colors.
Smoked grass stains, bicarbonates
Smoke glass, stained bright colors.
Soapsuds, green light, bubbles
Soapsuds green like bubbles
Some are quick to take the pain
Some are quick to take the bait
The need in me
Believe in me
When I sit spinnin' round round round
smoking grass stayin right down
When I say I'm spinnin' round round round,
smoked glass stained bright colors
