Lyrics

Take a little dive into the shallow or spy what do you see?
I see the tortoise and the hare in a rat-race and it fits like a glove under my sleeve, just wait till then
Their heads are the heaviest in operation
He has still not lost imagination
I can hear him mouth the whole ending -
Just wait till then

We marys had ourselves a ball
Oh, yes we did
We marys had ourselves a ball
I must admit--

Hang us those limbs hold no virtue
Those told to hold: project on my cue

Whether a he or a she, put your mouth where your money is
Are the birds of a feather that clever?
If I knew I'd keep locks, that's a given, just wait till then
Their heads cast shadows like skyscrapers
Small enough to fit up their asses to put it all into perspective with definition

Oh, take a gander the bigger they are the harder they fall

Not needy you'll see, not needy
And I come with open arms over trees
Not needy you'll see

Listen to my proven guarantees while you're rolling up your sleeves
Beatin' on the chest
But we can keep it in a jar when it's comin' cats and dogs for days
We marys had ourselves a ball, and I guarantee
That what they've done for you they've done for me
