The Strain Lyrics by Blockhead

Uncle Tony’s Coloring Book

0

[Intro: Johnny Preston]
On the bank of the river
Stood running bear, young indian brave
On the other
Side of the river
Stood his lovely indian maid
Little white dove
Was-a her name
Such a lovely
Sight to see
But their tribes
Fought with each other
So their love
Could never be

[Bridge: Bill Dana]
I want to know if you can help my husband. He has this terrible dream all the time where he's running, and running, and he's not getting anywhere!

...could never be...

[Chorus: Lanni Hall]
Feel the strain and you see the stain
And you can't get back again [x2]

[Outro: Mike Nichols and Elaine May]
Scalpel
Scalpel
Gauze
Gauze
More gauze
More gauze
More gauze
More gauze
More gauze
More gauze
...
Little more gauze
We don't have any more gauze
...That's all we've got?
Yeah... i don't know what happened, we had a small roll of clothes...
Give me a sponge
Sponge
Clamp
You have the clamp
Suture
You have the suture
Edith
Yes?
I love you
...please, please!
