They've been circling, they've been circling
Since the day they were born
It's disturbing, how they're circling
Fifty feet from the pond
Pretty often, pretty often
I don't wanna be told
It's a problem, it's a problem
It's a problem, I know
And I won't keep what I can't catch
In my bare hands without a net
It's hard enough to walk on grass
So conscious of the consequences
They've been jerking, they've been jerking
In a pail by the dock
I know that oxygen
Might make them blossom and die
But I'm not gonna talk
Feed them details, feed them e-mails
They'll eventually grow
It's not working, it's not working
Not as far as I know
And killing things is not so hard
It's hurting that's the hardest part
And when the wizard gets to me
I'm asking for a smaller heart
And I got you, and I got you
Now I'll ruin it all
Feeling helpless, acting selfish
Being human and all
And they're jumping, and they're jumping
But they'll never get out
Just keep touring, keep ignoring
Be a good little trout
And the butcher stops and winds the clock
And lays their lives down on the block
He raises up his hatchet and the
Big hand strikes a compromise
Wait, we'll trade you, wait
Please, just one more day
Then we'll go with no complaining
No complaining, no complaining
Stop
And they're killing, and they're cutting
And I think that I know
And they're gutting, and they're gutting
And I think that I know
And it's beating, it's still beating
And I think that I know
And it's beating, look it's still beating
But I don't wanna know
And killing things is not so hard
It's hurting that's the hardest part
And when the wizard gets to me
I'm asking for a smaller heart
And if he tells me no
I'll hold my breath until I hit the floor
Eventually I know I'm doomed
To get what I am asking for
Now my heart is exactly the size
Of a six sided die cut in half
Made of ruby red stained glass
Can I knock you unconscious
As long as I promise
I'll love you and I'll make you laugh
And my heart is exactly the size
Of a six sided die cut in half
Made of ruby red stained glass
Can I knock you unconscious
As long as I promise
I'll love you and I'll make you laugh
The lyrics I heard were slightly different:
