Dance of the Manatee Lyrics by Fair to Midland

Inter.Funda.Stifle

2007

[Verse 1]
Take a little dive into the shallow and spy, what do you see?
I see the tortoise and hare in a rat race
And it fits like a glove under my sleeve
Just wait 'til then
Their heads are the heaviest in operation
He's still not lost imagination
You can hear him mouth the whole ending
Just wait 'til then
[Pre-Chorus]
We Marys had ourselves a ball, oh, yes we did
We Marys had ourselves a ball, I must admit
[Chorus]
Hang us, those limbs hold no virtue
Those told to hold, project on my cue
Until we fall
[Verse 2]
Whether a he or a she, put your mouth where your money is
And are the birds of a feather that clever?
If I knew I'd keep locks, that's a given
Just wait 'til then
Their heads cast shadows like skyscrapers
But they're still small enough to fit up their asses
To put it all into perspective
With definition
[Pre-Chorus]
We Marys had ourselves a ball, oh, yes we did
We Marys had ourselves a ball, I must admit
[Chorus]
Hang us, those limbs hold no virtue
Those told to hold, project on my cue
[Bridge]
Well, take a gander, the bigger they are, the harder they fall
Well, take a gander, the bigger they are, the harder they fall
Not needy, you'll see, not needy
As I come by open arms over trees
Not needy, you'll see
Not needy, you'll see, not needy
As I come by open arms over trees
Not needy, you'll see
Not needy, you'll see, not needy
As I come by open arms over trees
Not needy, you'll see
Not needy, you'll see, not needy
As I come by open arms over trees
[Interlude]
(Throat singing)
Listen to proven guarantees
While you're rolling up your sleeves, beating on your chest
But we can keep it in a jar
When it's coming cats and dogs for days
[Pre-Chorus]
We Marys had ourselves a ball, and I guarantee
That what they've done for you (Oh, they've)
They've done for me, they've done for me
[Chorus]
Hang us, those limbs hold no virtue
Those told to hold, project on my cue
Hang us, those limbs hold no virtue
Those told to hold, project on my cue
