This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
The man laid his hat on the table
Hung his coat up on the wall
Sat down to dinner said as soon as I am able
I'll say something nice to you all
Then he took a deck from his pocket
Spread 'em so I saw 'em all
Then he turned his back to me shuffled 'em and drew me
The card that said I never would fall
Oh Mary Lou won't you tell me what to do
I got a dollar on the corner and a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer gonna split myself in two
He spun 'till a ton was glistening
Turned to me and gave me a smile
He said I'm leaving now but I want what you owe me
I'll be back in a little while
That was the last time I saw him
Hope I never see him again
I know it sounds funny but I owe him some money
And I really don't want him for a friend
Oh Mary Lou won't you tell me what to do
I got a dollar on the corner and a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer gonna split myself in two
Hung his coat up on the wall
Sat down to dinner said as soon as I am able
I'll say something nice to you all
Then he took a deck from his pocket
Spread 'em so I saw 'em all
Then he turned his back to me shuffled 'em and drew me
The card that said I never would fall
Oh Mary Lou won't you tell me what to do
I got a dollar on the corner and a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer gonna split myself in two
He spun 'till a ton was glistening
Turned to me and gave me a smile
He said I'm leaving now but I want what you owe me
I'll be back in a little while
That was the last time I saw him
Hope I never see him again
I know it sounds funny but I owe him some money
And I really don't want him for a friend
Oh Mary Lou won't you tell me what to do
I got a dollar on the corner and a laser in my shoe
If I don't get an answer gonna split myself in two

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think he's waiting to hear from his dealer.
Surrealism . Pure , surrealism. If "Split Mice Elf In Two" has a meaning, it is simply the feeling of dealing with the stress of reality's stupid games and rising above them or just avoiding them all outright.
great song, a wonderful way to open up II. and im the first to comment. its my lucky day.
I remember reading this song is about having children. I was written before Curt knew he was gonna have twins ironically.
i'd just like to say that as a very blunt way of looking at it, it's about playing poker... plus its one of my favorite songs buy the meat puppets
Rumpelstiltskin?
This song is amazing. When Curt sings the "shuffled em and drew me" part the second time I could swear he was singing "she offered him a doobie". It's pretty obvious that it's about playing cards with a guy you don't really want to be around, at least to me.
who is mary lou?
