baby in your cradle look at me
baby speaking rhythms now you're free
ride your german shepard till you're five
baby think the tv is alive
baby spend the night out you're thirteen
bending for a wish your candles leave
baby bang erasers and wash the board
think just yesterday you wore a sword
watch your new years evening wash away
you're on the floor
can you hear me troubadour?
alvin row
tangled in your broken kite
it's hard to be ben franklin but
(?)
accustomed to the rest you're still the child
i'll never recollect to see
that you can't fake it
white (?) in every size
but you can't take the gifts
but your wardrobe suits you fine
alvin all these visions of mine
let them do your make up, i know
alvin row
half of them are on your side
they are the figments of
(?)
my mind is not unkind it's just not open
i remember i watched a man crying his weird chant
run back there, we'll let you be
until you're famous
tired of reaching for the lampshade
baby reading
baby love me
ahh!
i told the baker's daughter
that i didn't want their water
she only likes it when i pray
so i expect she's waiting
i told the baker's daughter
that i didn't want their water
she only likes it when i beg
so i expect she's waiting on
alvin row
alvin row
alvin row
oh alvin...
i remember the day that i walked away from the city's edge
cars are demons and radio runs when there's nothing on
words slip by when i'm silent i have to let so many people down
but the bell from the ice cream man comes to save the day
winter comes, we do no wrong, and i dream of
the chocolate shakes, the sun awakes, the painting of
the autumn clouds distort and cry to (?)
up pull the glass, a trip too fast for (?)
so slip past through the maze as we hop up on the stage of the (?)
i remember the shining, the spotlight, the day she played
though i never knew (?) except nobody knows this part's like mine
take a drive to the jackson performance to see and pretend
well a new apartment and a heart don't make me old
despite a rage i am a page and i've been torn
well i'm walking on a rail with eight other eyes
so be sure and pick the best of you eight other sides
when i stay shy, you stay shy, dear alvin
when i say bye, you say bye, dear alvin
when i say go, you say go, dear alvin
when i say no, you say no, dear alvin
well that's funny, my voice didn't come back to me
i'll try it again
hello? hello?
oh my goodness, now my singing voice is gone!
ok here is what i transcribed so far:
