Eskimo (Live) Lyrics by Louden Swain

Saturday Night Special (Live)

2017

[Verse 1]
I once spoke to a meter maid
She said she liked the work but not the pay
Writing tickets while you run away afraid

[Verse 2]
I said hey to a polar bear
He said he liked it here but not over there
That's what it’s like inside a dragon's lair
The ice is fading back

[Chorus]
It's like teaching architecture to an Eskimo
You can show him everything you know
Still gonna build it out of snow
I’m gonna take my long division down to Mexico
Where I can divide
All night, yeah

[Verse 3]
I said hey to an astronaut
He said he wishes he could pick his spot
He said he likes to go out a lot
And not quite make it back

[Verse 4]
It's like teaching architecture to an Eskimo
You can show him everything you know
Still gonna build it out of snow
I'm gonna take my ticket and kick it down to Mexico
Where I'm gonna fly
All night

Here we go!

[Bridge]
(Been around the world) Been around the world, and I've seen
(Know what I mean) Enough to know what I mean
(Ticking in my mind) I got this ticking in my mind
And it's about time
Well, alright

[Verse 5]
I set the record with Joan of Arc
She knew her destiny before that spark
She got the orders, she said she played her part

[Chorus]
It's like teaching architecture to an Eskimo
You can show him everything you know
He's still gonna build it out of snow
I’m gonna stand with my feet deeply rooted to the ground below
I can survive
All night, yeah

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
It’s like teaching architecture to an Eskimo
You can show him everything you know
Still gonna build it out of snow
I'm gonna take my long division down to Mexico
Where I can divide
All night
All night

[Outro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
