Bloodbook On The Halfshelf Songtext

And yes we both do reside
On this riverside
Where we hide

Vacation's a lot of work
But here we are with ringing bells
And floating on this cockleshell
My pal Grins
Hugs the wind and sighs

We realize
With our blank minds aside
Only to see the mystery
Of many books floating free
And those books are free indeed
There's one caught in the weed
Let's get it

Go get that lovely book Let's grab those lovely books
Gather up all these books
We're gettin' looks looks
We're gettin' the looks

These lovely bloody books
Arms full of lonely books
Freely collecting books
We're getting funny looks

While we are
Stacking
Organizing
Filing
Piling way up high and rising
Dewey dusty
Decimalizing
Sorting
Tracking
Systemizing
Can't believe we found this vintage
We now have such great advantage
Great they'll look in our library
Let's get goin
And let us hurry
Now now

Hey hey hey
What do they say
Collections sit and beg to play
Wanting to give
And speak with us
But neatly packed
And nicely put away

What to do
For I've heard they are good
But we've also been told
They can't be understood
By simpletons like me
And should never be
So why try

Crack in to all those books
The lovely bloody books
We open up these books
We taking looks looks
We're taking a look

Time to hit the books
The lovely bloody books
Arms full of lovely books
Open up all these books

It's got the
Words of one who made the river
Blood that's flowing through the soil
I got books I just don't read them
Cleaning scraps up from the table

Flippin through with fingers pointing
At the letter and the numbers
Straining eyes and feeling better
Wonderin how to be members
Hom now

(Whistle moment)

And I'm turning the page
While on
Center stage
It is starting to sink
And I'm to the brink
With my plans in pencil
While the vision's in ink

What to think

My left brain tells me I'm a fool
My right brain tells me It's true

I only am knowing one thing
I like hearing good news

It's true
And it's false
Gonna cost
myself
For these books
Taking one second look

Gonna call my counselor now
He's gonna clear
Clear confusion
Then explain everything

These books steer our ship with good news
For now I got nothing to lose

My brother
Remembers
A thousand
I can't quote you one line

But oh now
I shall
Know all of your ways
With warm cockles in to my heart
And dancing to hits
And skipping around
Around on unsinkable ships
