lyrics

When the coin leaves your hand it spins round and round like a dynamo.
And the light reflects and shines right into my eye.


How many flips, need to come up eyes and ears lips,
Before you suspect something’s awry?


And the days, the days, the days still pass but they pass like gallstones.
And the weeks and months just go on and on and on (and on and on and on)


How many flips, need to come up eyes and ears and lips,
Before you decide that something’s wrong?


And the hands of the clock still swing but back and forth like a pendulum.
And the calendar just never seems to change.


How many flips, need to come up eyes and ears and lips,
Before you’ll admit that something’s strange?


And at 3 it hails,
I cut my fingernails,
But the snow don’t fall and my toenails never grow.


The sun changes place,
So I know the earth still rotates,
But was it ever revolving? I’ll probably never know
And I never believed it, but that don’t make it so.


And some say that this might be death but I know that it can’t be.
Death just isn’t, you can’t not be on a boat.


But, how many flips, need to come up eyes and ears and lips,
Before life ain’t worth that half a groat?
Before you just slit your fuckin throat?
